The Temper Trap Live in Concert - Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down?

[subnet]

general question....The Temper Trap are playing in Toronto October 5 at The Phoenix Concert Theatre....should I stay or should I go?

 

[Purplereign]

YouTube - The Temper Trap - Sweet Disposition (Live from New York City)

I say go




EDIT . . . . . . must remember how to post videos without breaking the thread . . . sorry peeps


EDIT 2 . . . phew

If you have the money... just go. Always good to try new things without hearing any kind of opinion if it's good or not.

i saw them live and if the tickets are cheap, i'd go. i saw them for $40 odd here, but now they're more popular and playing bigger venues, the tickets have gone up to $60/$70, which i wouldn't pay. i don't think his voice is as good live either. but as Heathcliff says just go.

snagged tix for $15 + TM fees for the toronto gig.

 

[Lila64]

Can't beat any concert for $15. Enjoy!

I really enjoyed them at the show I went to in LA. You will have a great time at your show.

They're playing a show in San Diego in August and 2 shows in L.A. County in October. I might try to catch one of them to check them out.

The songs I've heard are decent. Nothing groundbreaking or Earth shattering, but I like that "sound" that they're mining/mimic-ing. However, the Pitchfork review of their debut had me LMFAO in stitches!

Shut up Pitchfork, oh look a new band people can have fun with and enjoy, let's tear the crap out of them for all our elitist friends.

You're right they're not earthshattering, but they are pretty cool, and Conditions is an awesome driving record.

 

[FitzChivalry]

Oh, I fully took that Pitchfork review with a healthy dose of arrogant, elitist salt.

I think I might go ahead and get tickets to the L.A. show, even though I don't have the album.

 

[CrashedCarDriver]

without u2 this band wouldnt exist

 

[david]

Pitchfork are aholes. It's an enjoyable album, the influences are there and obvious. The singers voice is awesome and hopefully the band will evolve.

 

[the tourist]

I found the album to be pretty good, but I've only really revisited Sweet Disposition multiple times.

 

[God Part III]

I saw them live at Roskilde Festival two weeks ago.

I say go, the band was very good, but the singer is mindblowingly good.

 

[FitzChivalry]

I guess I'm going. A bunch of my friends are going. Plus, Delphic is opening for TTT, so it's kind of a win-win situation.
