Muse - Air Canada Centre - Toronto - March 8th, 2010

Muse
Air Canada Centre
March 8th 2010

It was completely impossible for me to consider reviewing Muse with an unbiased opinion. I love Muse and I've never had a chance to see them live so I went into the Air Canada Centre expecting a great show.

I was wrong.

It was better than that.

Muse give a performance that is visually and sonically stunning from every seat in the venue. The stage is setup with 3 towers which act both as screens for the fantastic visuals and as risers for the trio. I've seen a lot of great uses of live video / pre shot video integration but Muse have taken it to another level (pun not entirely unintended).

Given how complex some of their studio work is you'd expect them the songs to sound weaker/stripped down live. Muse manage to perform their material even better than it was recorded and Matthew Bellamy is a joy to watch. A genuine rock star and a frighteningly talented musician (guitar, vocals and piano. It's amazing how effortlessly he sings and plays great guitar parts and how flawlessly Christopher and Dominic execute their parts.

Muse are a huge Euro band but they've never quite broken the North American market. Their "Twilight" soundtrack success as well as the success of their 2009 release "The Resistance" should be the tipping point for U.S. recognition. New fans would have known a lot of the Resistance heavy set but their best and greatest hits were there too: "Hysteria", "Supermassive Black Hole", "Starlight" and "Knights of Cydonia". They even threw in some Canadian content playing a cover of Rush's "YYZ"

Where they lacked (in my opinion) was audience interaction. Not that it's easy to interact when you're 30 feet up on a scissor lift, but I really do like it when the frontband makes an effort - like Rivers Cuomo from Weezer did when he played the same venue in December. But if that's the only thing that Muse did wrong then that's not bad.

I say it a lot but if Muse are coming to your town then make sure you're at the show.

While many fans and bands made the trek to Austin for SXSW a good number also came for other music events in the area. Once of those events, the Texas Rockfest, was held in a couple parking lots on 7th street and several bars on 6th street, and drew their own crowds to check out bands from all over the U.S.. Hard rock, metal, punk, dub, emo, country, americana and idie bands all found a place to play and a willing crowd to play in front of. Even though I was tasked to do SXSW photos I found it hard not to slip over and shoot a few of the Rockfest acts. Click on a photo below to check out a bands pics.

Well the crowds are gone, the bands are gone, the garbage has been picked up and Austin ihas been left wth the memories of another successful SXSW. While I didn't get to update the site as quickly as I had hoped, I did manage to take photos of around 50 acts, including headliners Devo an Third Eye Blind. Sadly I couldn't get one of the "special" photo passes to Metallica, nor did I get invited to shoot Jane's Addiction at the Playboy Party but I did get to see and shoot some great bands.

I seemed like the Indigo Girls were everywhere at SXSW this year, even popping up to perfrom at the Perez Hilton party. I caught their set later over at Stubb's and thought they were great. They sounded just like their records. It was just them on a bare stage. Click here to check out the rest of the Indigo Girls pics.

Electro-Punk Pioneers DEVO headlined the BMI Showcase at the Austin Music Hall during this years SXSW and they brought their whole stage setup. Even the plastic flowerpot hats. Being at this show you felt like you were immersed in one of those 80's videos, part of some way cool 3D mashup. Click here to check out the rest of the Devo pics.
