| Owen were just one of the bands I finally got to see live last night. |
It was Friday, so that meant soccer practice until 6:30. Then it was pizza after CoolMom got home. By the time I got into Asbury Lanes, Estella had already finished their set and Mount Sharp were setting up.
Mount Sharp, whose Weird Fears I really enjoy, was just one of the bands I was looking forward to checking out last night. Scotch LaRock has been raving about Owel, and Hey Anna are one of those bands I've been trying to see for a while now. It was, basically, one-stop shopping for bands I've been meaning to see. Convenient.
All three were impressive.
I feel like Mount Sharp's live set is a little louder, more "wall of sound" even than the EP. Standout tracks "Crazy Eyes," "Icarus," and "Turing" were also standouts last night.
NJ's Owel drew the biggest crowd of the night. Their ambient, orchestral post-rock combined with the lighting setup the band brought to create a pretty majestic effect onstage. Scotch LaRock knows his stuff.
Hey Anna took the late slot, and I was happy that I finally got to see them. I'd been trying to make it to a show of theirs since back when I went to Northside Festival. It just worked out every time that I was out of town or had a party to go to or some other obligation. They were worth the wait as their infectious indie pop kind of blew me away. I listened to their 2013 Pompette EP a couple of times on my ride home.
Here are highlights from all three sets. There are lots more if you click on the "Galleries" tab up top.
