Coheed 78: The Karaoke-ning

Wednesday, August 14, 2024 Coheed & Cambria #78 The Anthem Washington DC Coheed is on a "co-headlining" tour with Primus. Apparently just before the show, Claudio was advised to not sing at all and totally rest his voice. The rest of the band came out and Travis and Josh told the crowd that we would have to sing all the lyrics because Claudio couldn't make a sound. All things considered, it went pretty well. They even played a new song that I hadn't listened to yet and people seemed into it. I think they subbed in a couple older songs to the set that hopefully got more people singing along. Chonnye came out and sang two songs and Dirty Enr even sang one with her. Honestly , just sub in Chondra until Claudio is better. I was entertained regardless. The opener was Puddles Pity Party and I wasn't previously aware that I needed a clown singing a mashup of the Titanic theme and Enter Sandman but I am now. I looked at the Primus set list in advance and they only had like two songs I recognized on the list so I just watched one and went home. As someone who barely played bass for one semester of middle school jazz band, I appreciate the talent.

I didn't get there in time to see the Dread Crew of Oddwood at 6:30pm but they were dressed like pirates at their merch table and people were talking it up later.

I really enjoyed Aether Realm. They're redneck viking metal from Asheville, NC.

I forgot that TrollFest were in Eurovision in 2022. They put on a very fun set and there were several people with flamingo gear in the crowd.

I didn't stay for all of Tyr but they were excellent as in the past.

Coheed 68 + bonus Kennedy Center performance

68th of Coheed
Galactic Empire
Wednesday, May 30th, 2018
Chameleon Club, Lancaster, PA

I don't know how I've never been to the Chameleon Club before, especially considering that I know one of the club owners. In fact, I don't recall having ever been to downtown Lancaster before. We used to go to the Fire [equipment] Show there every year when I was a kid (held in the parking lot of Dutch Wonderland, which I also don't recall ever visiting...) and I've been outlet shopping in Lancaster more recently. Weird.

Anyway, I spent some quality time at the fantastic Federal Taphouse and then headed over for the (pretty damn early) show. This was more or less a rehearsal show for Coheed's upcoming tour and their two-night (single song) appearance at the Kennedy Center. The bartender said that Galactic Empire had just played the Chameleon Club a night or two before, so I guess that's why they opened. They play instrumental metal versions of Star Wars songs and dress in costumes and it was pretty amazing. They even had a whole plot with the merch guy (who was a Rebel!) and light sabers. Fun stuff.

By the time Coheed hit the stage, it was pretty hot. I was in the back of the main floor and very glad I had my fan with me (best purchase of the last year). I was glad I wasn't upstairs or crushed in the front. There was some stage banter from Claudio, who said he never takes his hair down anymore except to impress the other parents at his kid's school. Solid set for my taste. The cover of Danzig's Mother got a "Holy shit!" chant from the crowd, which I greatly appreciated. I also appreciated that it seemed like most people actually knew the song, as opposed to when they used to play The Trooper and no one even knew it was Iron Maiden. I couldn't really hear or understand the spoken part of the new Prologue and Dark Sentencer, but I was thrilled to be among the first to hear it live.

Saturday, June 2nd NASA 60th Anniversary Celebration with NSO Pops

Kennedy Center, Washington, DC

Unclear how Coheed & Cambria got invited to perform with the NSO Pops, but it was goddamn fucking amazing. They played From Here to Mars with the freakin National Symphony Orchestra with a backdrop of photos of Mars and taken by the Mars Rover. I may have sung along...I definitely lip synced. It was hotter (temperature wise) in KC than CC. Again: fan.
