[ATTENDED: January 24, 2020] Temples [rescheduled from November 10, 2019]
Temples were supposed to play Union Transfer back in November. For some reason, their show was moved to this month and moved from Union Transfer to The Foundry (this is quite surprising considering one venue is a Live Nation property and the other isn’t). In fact even though my Union Transfer ticket was honored, I had to go through a rather laborious process to get it switched to an official Live Nation ticket (glad I got there early).
I’m still not sure why the show was moved or why it was downgraded to a much smaller venue because Temples was fantastic and the fans were totally into it.
I loved Temples’ first album and hadn’t quite realized that they’d put out two albums since that one. Their new sound is a bit more keyboardy/dancey instead of the big retro sound of the first album. But the overall vibe (and excellent riffmaking) hasn’t changed from album to album. (more…)
