[NOT ATTENDED: June 1, 2019] Starcrawler/The Distillers [moved to August 14]
I got a ticket for this show more for Starcrawler than The Distillers.
I have heard that a live Starcrawler show is not to be missed and I was ready to watch them!
I wasn’t even really sure if I knew who The Distiller were, in fact. Then I remembered I had seen an NPR Field Recording with Brody Dalle. I didn’t love her solo song, but it got me to listening to a few songs from The Distillers, which I liked a lot more.
So I was pretty excited to go and I made sure that I got there early since I assumed there’d be a lot of Starcrawler fans there, too.
But when I drove past Union Transfer, there was a huge line out front. Was I earlier than the doors opening time? I found a parking spot and as I walked to the venue I saw people walking away.
When I got up to the doors, I saw the merch all set up, but the guy at the door politely said that Brody had herniated a disc in her back and the show was postponed. And not for later in the night–she was in the hospital.
Wow.
All things considered, I thought everyone–fans and venue–took the disappointment well. It did suck that I had just driven 75 minutes and was then driving 75 minutes home, but it gave me the opportunity to stop for Krispy Kreme on the way home (it’s closed after shows) and have a nice evening of donuts and Brooklyn Nine-Nine with C.
A new date was just announced for August 14!
