Pierce The Veil allowed a minute long introductory video lifting elements of their recently released Misadventures to be projected onto a large white screen that obstructed the band and their stage set-up behind it.

And I thoroughly enjoyed trying to keep my eyes focused on the band through a few of their songs – the lights behind the band quite literally washing them out on a bombarding of bright whites through a few of their songs. There were moments of slick electronic beats interwoven with their music that I found quite refreshing to hear. Radke strutted out on stage before “The Drug In Me Is You” with the remaining pizza and potato chips from their dressing room, and hurled the slices into the Danforth Music Hall like frisbees, a few of the slices skipping off the ceiling and reaching the fans on the back balcony section. Vocalist Andy Leo mentioned that a friend of his sherpa’d up his ID earlier today, meaning he could leave our fine country.įalling In Reverse vocalist Ronnie Radke, along with his cohorts Derek Jones, Ryan Seaman, Zakk Sandler and Christian Thompson, pummeled the audience with a dizzying array of lights and sounds tonight. Crown The Empire walked out on stage at 7 pm, two large inflatable spacemen on either side of the drummer, and blasted their way through six songs, a few of which had members in the audience singing along. I say reputation because they’d not played Toronto ever, until these two shows.ĭallas, Texas band Crown The Empire (Rise Records) followed by Las Vegas band Falling In Reverse did an excellent job warming things up this evening. Pierce the Veil have numerous quality albums under their belt, and Falling In Reverse have a reputation for high-energy performances. I think if I’d gotten into the middle of the crowd, I might not have fared as well – I’m tall and was easily 30 years over the median age of screaming fanatics on this second night of two Pierce the Veil shows. I stood against the wall midway from the stage with the dads who had brought their daughters to the show, and nobody paid me any mind. Thankfully, it was easy for me to blend in last night at Pierce The Veil.
