I missed seeing Camarae and Modern Day Escape unfortunately, but I did arrive in time to catch some of In Passing’s set, as well as full sets by In Violent Times and Amely – all really good bands. But it was A Cover Story’s night - the release show for their debut CD “Watch The Cities.”
A Cover Story is a fun band to see live, they always seem to have something different to show the audience, whether it’s changing the way a song is performed or just the between songs banter and antics. For this show they pulled out all the stops.
The band took the stage to billowing fog and screaming fans, opening with “Broken Promises” from the new CD. The second song “Till Death Do Us Part,” which is also on the CD, Jon described as a song about “a special kind of love.”
They slowed things down a bit with the first ever live performance of “Actually, It’s Completely My Business,” with Shauna from Shut Up And Dance joining them onstage for the duet.
Jon asked for low lights and fog (should have seen him fog machine impression!) for an a cappella start to the CD’s title track “Watch The Cities.”
For the last song “Regrets (Take 2)” they were joined by other musicians from the audience for the finale of the song and the evening.
