I'll just start off by saying YouInSeries' singer was sick and they didn't perform (which bummed me out because I really like their CD).
Anyays, I'm not familiar with Days Away hardly at all; I've probably only heard 1 or 2 of their songs previous to seeing them. I was really impressed with them though, it's always refreshing nowadays to see a singer in a band that can actually sing. They sounded really tight and very cohesive. The drummer is amazing in this band. I have no clue about the songs they played I just remember them announcing a new song.
Now onto TREOS. I was skeptical about how they would perform with the replacement guitar player but it was all in vain. They were still awesome, with Alex and Brendan taking over Casey's vocal parts. The replacement was good for what he was, he got into a bit but all in all my focus stayed on the rest of the band. They played about half of the CD. I had just seen them a couple months ago on their headlining tour so this show was basically a shorter version of that concert minus Casey.
Another performance I was skeptical of, due to the fact that I had seen live footage of Circa and they showed Anthony Green either sounding good or sounding pretty bad. Luckily he sounded great last night as did the rest of the band. They pretty much played all of Juturna with one or two new songs (which sounded pretty good). The crowd at the Grog Shop was pretty into it. Towards the end when they were playing "Oh, Hello" it got pretty insane. People were hanging from the ceiling and I'm alltogether surprised AntGreen came out of that place alive. Also towards the end beachballs with glowsticks in them were thrown into the crowd which was really cool looking watching them get bounced around.
In conclusion, it was a great show all around and I've now come to the conclusion that I definitely enjoy Circa better than Saosin.
