[DID NOT ATTEND: April 15, 16 & 18, 2025] The Used / Family Dinner / In Angles / MX Lonely
My son and I saw The Used open for Pierce the Veil. I didn’t know them but he was excited to see them.
I enjoyed them quite a bit–their songs were fun and rocking and the show was a really good time.
I had no intention of going to any of these shows–these 25th Anniversary shows were for the die hard fans, I believe. I thought my son might want to go but he wasn’t that interested either.
Each night they were playing an album in full (plus other songs, I assume).
April 15 was their self titled debut. Family Dinner opened.
April 16 was their Love and Death album. In Angles opened.
April 18 was their Lies for the Liars album. MX Lonely opened.
Family Dinner “creates alternative rock that makes you want to dance, with lyrics that take some dark twists.” I listened to a couple of songs and I really liked their fuzzy guitars and Natalie’s vocals. I would absolutely see them live.
In Angles are a much much heavier band–a heavy screaming kind of band with tasty guitar licks in their songs. Described as post-hardcore, if that helps. They are from East Brunswick, NJ, so mad props. Maybe I’ll give them another listen just for proximity sake.
MX Lonely is described as heavygaze from Brooklyn. I don’t love that phrase, but I do tend to like the music. They seem pretty good.
I would have enjoyed all three openers. But probably Family Dinner best.
