[DID NOT ATTEND: October 26, 2022] We Were Promised Jetpacks / Breakup Shoes
I’ve seen We Were Promised Jetpacks a couple of times and they put on a ripping show.
But recently one of their original members left and they seem to have changed their sound a bit. I didn’t enjoy it quite as much. But they tour around here all the time, it seems (especially for a band from Scotland). I’m curious if their shows will be as intense. However, this show was right in the middle of a bunch of shows and I had tickets to see Band-Maid, who I’d never seen before.
I also didn’t quite think that Ardmore Music Hall was the right venue for them.
So, I’m sure WWPJ will be back again.
Breakup Shoes reminds me of The Housemartins/non-funny Barenaked Ladies–soda pop sweet, surf-flavored indie rock but with dark lyrics that you might not pick out. All of this wrapped in a more 90s sound–buzzy guitars and fuzzy production with guitar solos.
I rather enjoyed the few songs I heard
