[ATTENDED: April 16, 2022] Lilith Czar
I was pretty excited to take my son and his friends to see Ice Nine Kills again. This was his fourth or fifth time seeing them already. It would be my second.
The tickets said 6:30, which usually means that the doors open at 6:30 and the show starts at 7:30. I couldn’t find anything to the contrary so we arrived at 6:25, figuring we’d get there nice and early–get merch and get right up close.
We walked right in and I thought, huh, are we really that early?
Well, indeed, no. As I stood on the merch line that wrapped all the way into the venue, I looked at the Fillmore Instagram site which said that the doors opened at 5 and the first band went on at 6:30. WTF.
So I thought I indicated to the kids that I’d get on the merch line for them and they could come when I was close to the end of the line. Clearly I didn’t say that as they thought I ditched them and was up near the front. Meanwhile, I was standing on line, facing away from the stage and missing the opening band Lilith Czar pretty much entirely.
I was in the room, so I heard everything, I just couldn’t really focus on her at all.
I didn’t know her music (and didn’t know she was opening the show until last night). But I do know that she did a rocking cover of Stevie Nick’s “Edge of Seventeen” (which I always thought was called “One Wing Dove”).
Heh, looking her up now, I see that she was on The Voice and is now married to the singer from Black Veil Brides and formerly recorded as Juliet Simms.
I wish I could have given her more attention because I liked the sound of her set, and thought the rocking “Edge of Seventeen” was quite good. She praised Philly as the best crowd of the tour. I know that bands say this all the time, but it felt like she had a legit reason. She said it was the first time anyone had crowd surfed to “whatever song.”
