Last Friday I was lucky enough not only to see Coheed & Cambria play in Brisbane but to also be able to meet them at the VIP Meet & Greet before the show.
I took that opportunity to take the absolute worst photo of me of all time.
It would be funny I suppose for anyone who isn't me. I was worried most of the week leading up to that night about making a fool of myself and coming off as a blithering idiot fangirl. Well, I bypassed that stage entirely and went straight to the stage where I can barely utter a word and come off as some weirdo who can't even talk.
Circa Survive supported them and I have to admit, they didn't win me over as a fan. Musically they're quite sound but vocally, jesus fuck, the vocalist has the most painfully high pitched singing voice I've ever heard! I don't just mean painfully in a metaphoric sense either, there were periods where it literally made your ears ache.
Coheed though were as amazing as ever.
The energy Claudio has, the way the crowd sung along with older songs like A Favor House Atlantic or No World For Tomorrow and the way the newer tracks seamlessly blend in with their back catalogue. They're one of the most underrated live bands on the planet. In my own opinion they're right up with Enter Shikari and letlive. in the top echelon of live bands anywhere in the world.
I just wish they'd play Delirium Trigger live still. Or anything off SSTB really.
