[DID NOT ATTEND: September 11, 2025] Phantogram / Open Mike Eagle

I have been intrigued by Phantogram fora while–I love a couple of their songs but don’t know all that much about them.  When I knew I wasn’t going to Supergrass tonight, and I found out that people might not be home tonight, I got excited at the thought of heading into Allentown spontaneously.

But my daughter kindly asked me to stay home, so I did.

I see that Phantogram played Philly back in February and that this seems to be a quicky short tour, so they probably won’t be around again for a while.

I was also pleased about this show because Open Mike Eagle was opening.  I had just seen him open for clipping., and he was great.  I would happily see him again and again.

Alas.  I’m sure I’ll get to see both of them again sometime.

[DID NOT ATTEND: April 29, 2023] Deafheaven / Clear Capsule

I saw Deafheaven last year; it was an intense and enjoyable show.  A wild mix of utter noise and lovely shoegazey rock.

I’d consider seeing them again, although this show was scheduled for the same night as Placebo, so it wasn’t going to happen this time.

This show was announced with pretty short notice too.  The date was only listed in early March, so it must have been an impulsive show before they went to Europe.

Los Angeles’ Clear Capsule straddles alterna-metal heaviness and punky shoegaze.  Noot unlike Deafheaven, although a les extreme on both ends.  I rather liked the songs I heard and the high whispery voice of singer Bryce Pulaski.
