The first thing I noticed is that they have not brought in a replacement guitarist for Bronson, continuing with just one guitar. I do have to say that this makes them sound a little bit thin, not bad but it could be better. They also had an additional percussionist that I do not recall having seen before, but it makes sense with Schmotz focusing on the keyboards.
Well, the band tore the stage up, the crowd was wild and did not let up until the last note was played. The look of the band is essentially the same as when I saw them almost two years ago. Mushroomhead is a band that knows how to write strong music and infuse it with a dynamic stage show. Sure, it is hard to beat an act that just goes out there with no frills and amps it up with their own energy, but there is always room for a band that brings something new to the stage.
Their set included the likes of "Sun Doesn't Rise," "43," "Solitaire/Unraveling," "Simple Survival," "12 Hundred" and more. Man, these guys are a blast, from their impeccable performance, to Stitch and Waylon diving into the crowd, to the downright creepy look of Jeffrey Nothing, it is hard to beat. You have to see these guys if you get the chance.
