[DID NOT ATTEND: October 13, 2024] Sparta / Common Sage / Hiroe
I really enjoyed seeing Sparta last year. The songs were intense and great. So when they announced this tour of the Porcelain album, I was on board.
But then October turned out to be a really busy month for me and I just couldn’t go to concerts every night. So this one had to get dropped.
Common Sage is from Brooklyn. They’ve been around since 2018 and play pretty heavy emo. They’re not very prolific and I wonder if this tour was signifying a new album.
Hiroe is a Philly band. I find that I’m more interested in underground Philly bands than bands from other places, possible because I think Philly bands tends to be a little weirder. I mean, Hiroe is pronounced Hero-way for starters. I’m also intrigued by them because they play intense instrumentals ala Explosions in the Sky. They have one album that came out in 2022. The first song is 2 and a half minutes, the last song (called Doom Moon) is over 8. I’d like to see them.
