Those of you who didn't go to The Temper Trap's concert at Rochester's Water Street Music Hall on Wednesday 10/6 truly missed out (which is most of you). The venue was hardly full, much to my dismay, but the crowd was enthusiastic! Hooting and hollering, and of course dancing!
The Temper Trap delivered an excellent performance, playing just about all, if not all of their first album. Many songs seemed improved from their album version, including "Drum Song" which is a sort of closing song at the end of the album. They played a lengthened version that proved to be a hit with the audience.
I did truly enjoy their performance of "Love Lost", with the intense pause of silence part way through the song made all the more so intense by the live performance. You can get a sense for it here:
Also lead singer Dougy Mandagi's performance was more soulful than I anticipated, adding a musical flavor less common in the common post-punk and alternative rock band. Overall I would highly recommend you see The Temper Trap if given the opportunity (keep in mind they are here from Australia)! I would happily go again myself. You should at least get the album!!!
