Maserati and Mono @ GAMH

Got in around 8:30 and the place was really empty. Maserati started soon after. I had only recently checked their stuff out and dug it, but after seeing them live, I appreciated them so much more. They are kind of a mix of Battles (the preclude Battles though), Pink Floyd and Mogwai. They were showered in this trippy combination of black light with a touch of pink that reminded me of Dario Argento films. Gotta get more of their stuff for sure. I worried that they were going to make Mono look bad, but that wasn't the case at all! I have been listening to their new one, Hymn to the Immortal Wind, quite a bit and was excited to see it live. Wow, so much emotion. There were multiple times during the set that chills were running up my spin and that is rare for me. Bummed that I didn't get to see their entire set when I saw them open for High on Fire last year. Looks like they're playing their tenth anniversary show in Japan around Christmas with a full orchestra! Hope that shows up on Youtube.
