[DID NOT ATTEND: July 27, 2022] Coheed & Cambria / Alkaline Trio / Mothica
I’ve been a fan of Coheed & Cambria for a while. Not a huge fan–I like them more in theory.
They are a complicated prog metal band and it takes some time to get into their new stuff. Plus, their music is all part of a lengthy story. Lead dude Claudio Sanchez has a grand vision and it’s easy to get left out of it.
But I wanted to be a part of the grand vision so I grabbed a ticket for this venue which is on the Temple University campus.
But by the time the show came along, I had been to a couple of shows already this week and this was a big one, with three bands in a venue I didn’t know anything about.
Plus, we were seeing Lucy Dacus and Courtney Barnett the following night [had I known that it would be rain-cancelled, that might have changed my mind].
UPDATE: I saw a person wearing a shirt for this tour in Salem, MA just after Halloween. He told me I was a fool for not going.
Initially Dance Gavin Dance were supposed to open however, in June, this was revealed

Instead, Alkaline Trio were put in place. I don’t really now them, although they’ve been around forever. They’re a punk band from Chicago. I guess they are always a three-piece. Their sound is pretty good although it’s very simple compared with Coheed.
Mothica is the project of McKenzie Ellis, a singer from Oklahoma City. She’s got a kind of dark electro emo goth vibe thing going on. I imagine she’d be fun live.
