Four similar yet very distinct bands are featured on the tour including Tricot, TTNG, Polyphia, and Chon. Playing various styles of math rock and prog metal, the bands offer technical musicianship and complex song structures. The music was mostly instrumental with elaborate rhythmic structures, odd time signatures and lots of starting and stopping. The genre is sometimes compared to the Baroque era of classical music and composers like Bach because of the use of counterpoint with melodies that work together in harmony yet are independent in rhythm. Kicking off the evening was a four piece band all the way from Kyoto, Japan called Tricot. The band was an interesting blend of math rock with a lot of Japanese pop elements as they ran through a short set featuring some new songs from their latest EP “Kabuku.” With minimalistic vocals from guitarist Ikumi “Kiiyu” Nakajima and innovative leads from lead guitarist Motoko “Motifour” Kida, Tricot put on a solid set. ![]() Next up was TTNG also known as This Town Needs Guns hailing from Oxford, England. Their style was somewhat in the math rock class but also drew a lot of influences form alternative and pop rock with a bit more melodic feel than the other bands on the lineup. The trio consists of brothers Tim and Chris Collis on guitar and drums respectively and Henry Tremain on bass and lead vocals. The real standout and focal point of the band is the brilliant guitar work of Tim Collis with intricate melodies and rhythms with a two hand tapping technique.Īfter a short break, the venue was ready for more action which came in the form of the prog metal band geniuses of Polyphia. The band took the stage to a huge roar from the fans, proceeded to play just a few bars of a song, bowed, and made a quick exit from the stage. Apparently this is the norm for Polyphia as fans began to chant “One more song! One more song!” before they returned to the stage for their set. ![]() The band features two guitarists, Tim Henson and Scott LePage, who are both equally talented in their technical proficiency and ability to throw down some one of a kind experimental leads. Rounding out the lineup are the two Clays, Clay Gober on Bass and Clay Aeschliman on drums.Īnother surprise came after the first song when bassist Gober told the audience he was disappointed in the lack of crowd surfing so far. I thought he must be joking because who crowd surfs to prog metal? Well, I’ll tell you what, Polyphia fans sure do! From that point on, it was a constant stream of bodies to the barricade taking not only myself but security by surprise as they had to call in for backup even enlisting a member of the medic team to help out. Their efforts were duly noted by Gober as he complimented them for keeping everyone safe and urged the fans to give them some love and show their appreciation. ![]()
