The Bravery Live
I had a chance to see The Bravery in concert in Philly last night. A good show overall, and one I hope to see again. Sam Endicott’s vocals weren’t quite on par with the studio version–few singers can manage to sound the same live–but he was a great frontman, throwing his entire body into his performance. Michael Zakarin was also high-energy, especially while providing lead vocals on a previously unrealeased number. Though it would have been nice if bassist “Dirt” Hindert had picked up some of the energy.
The band kicked off the set with “Split Me Wide Open” and worked through old and new favorites from the self-titled debut and The Sun and the Moon. “Believe” was great, and the guys completely electrified the room with “Time Won’t Let Me Go.” They also introduced three songs from the upcoming album The Sun and the Moon Complete, which Sam called “the Moon Album”–all of the songs from The Sun and the Moon re-recorded as never before. The three they rolled out were “This is Not the End,” “Tragedy Bound,” and “The Ocean,” all of which had an edgier, more urgent sound. The album comes out in March.
