[DID NOT ATTEND: June 23, 2022] Vundabar / Runnner [moved from March 25, 2022, First Unitarian Church]
This show was moved forward a couple of months. By this time I knew who Vundabar was and was interested in seeing them because of their ubiquitous (in my house) old song “Alien Blues.”
This show sold out before I really knew about it, so there was no way i was going.
I was also a little surprised to find out that their music doesn’t really sound like “Alien Blues”–that song is a bit more frenetic and weird than their most recent album anyway. Although most live reviews I’ve read say they are terrific live.
M.A.G.S. was supposed to open for this tour, but he couldn’t accommodate the new dates.
Instead, Runnner was the opener. Noah Weinman is the singer-songwriter behind the melancholy bedroom-folk project. I listened to a couple of songs and yes, “melancholy bedroom-folk” sounds about right. I wouldn’t have enjoyed them as an opener, especially if I thought Vundabar was going to be a rocking outfit.
