Modern Minstrels

Dredg

First up on Nick's and my three concerts in as many days schedule was Dredg at the Fillmore last Thursday. The only opening act was Chi Cheng from the Deftones (bassist) reading poetry he had written. I wasn't really into it. The poetry wasn't bad, but it was about incredibly dark subject matter.

Dredg on the other hand totally rocked. I hadn't realized this, but they're actually from the Bay Area. I'm not going to even attempt to compose any kind of setlist, but needless to say they played for over an hour and a half and played pretty much all the songs from Catch Without Arms and a whole bunch of older stuff.

Probably the best part of the performance was just watching their drummer. He was incredibly intense and throughout the course of the show threw at least 20 drumsticks out into the crowd (in the middle of songs). Fun times.

And since the show was at The Fillmore, we got a spiffy free poster after the show.
