On Thursday I had the privilege to see two bands that I have been a ridiculous fan of since they came around. Suckers and Menomena playing together was almost, a cliched, dream come true. I was expecting Suckers to possibly steal the show, as they are up-and-coming and have a lot of energy, but that was far from the case. Menomena was incredible. The three of them (plus a member from Tu Fawning, playing with them for the night) were flawless. At one point Justin Harris (guitar, bass and sax player) forgot the words to "Queen Black Acid," and still the song was flawless. They really put on a show. Each displayed their ability to play numerous instruments, sing, and entertain a crowd. They played songs from all three of their albums, splitting most of the set with songs from Friend and Foe and the new Mines. They ended the show with an encore of "Strongest Man on Earth," from I am The Fun Blame Monster. Go see these guys. You will be a fan. Also keep Suckers on your radar.
