One of the local rock acts that I've grown to enjoy recently is the tattooed and painted metal group Blue Felix. I hadn't seen them since the Halloween Hellfest at Pov's, so when I heard they were playing a headlining show at the Cabooze in downtown Minneapolis, I knew it was a show I just couldn't pass up!
Another venue I hadn't been to before, it wasn't the easiest for me to get to at first, but once I saw it, it was hard to miss. I found a parking spot and hurried in just in time to see local rockers Tattooed Millionaires start the evening off right.
The next band, the masked metalers Rooin, reminded me a lot of Slipknot and Mushroomhead. I enjoyed their songs as I found some friends who had just arrived.
Next up were glam metal rockers the Hollywood Whores. While I'm not a big fan of that genre, I thought their cover of the Black Sabbath classic "N.I.B." was very well done.
Following them were Wisconsin rockers Agony of Defeat. More of a "nu-metal" band, I thought they did a good job of entertaining the growing crowd that had spread across the venue.
The final openers were fan favorites Nuisance. I'd say they were a better version of Limp Bizkit, another band I'd never seen before but grew to appreciate as they really got the crowd jumping up and down during their entire set.
After a few more chats with friends, I made my way to the front of the stage to catch Blue Felix in all their splendor. They are one of those unique bands and sounds that you just have to experience live to appreciate. I was rockin' out their entire set, and made off with a setlist, poster and a couple of CDs that I had bought earlier.
I got home earlier this morning cranking up their music, reflecting on another great show! That's all the live music for me for January. Until next month, have a great week, everyone!
