[DID NOT ATTEND: May 12, 2024] Avatar / Oxymorrons / Conquer Divide
This is a show I was so psyched to go to. Until I realized it was the same night as Neil Young and my wife and I werre pretty darn psyched to go to see Neil with Crazy Horse.
I’ve seen Avatar three times and I really wanted to see them headline one more time.
I’ve seen Oxymorrons twice and I have loved every second of their shows–I can’t wait to see the again.
Conquer Divide is the only band I was unfamiliar with. They are a metalcore band, with the twist that all of the members are female, which is pretty awesome. And frankly, the one really bad thing about metalcore is the vocals. For Conquer Divide, clean vocalist Kiarely “Kia” Castillo sings in a relatively high register–something that metalcore tends to leave out entirely. And unclean vocalist Janel Duarte (who just left the band) has a great scream that’s not cookie monster like, it’s a good passionate scream.
This would have been a great show. Stupid double booked nights.
