Live Music Review - Combichrist & Black Light Burns @ The Granada Theater

Combichrist has come along way since I first saw them open for KMFDM in 2006. Since that time the band held up a ruthless touring schedule. Building a loyal allegiance of fans across the world. Each time I have gone to see them the number of people at their show have doubled. The best way to describe a Combichrist show is energy. Not just from the band but from the crowd as well. The crowd knows the words to every song and is not afraid to sing along. The band that preformed before Combichrist was Black Light Burns. Fronted by Wes Borland. My brother turned me on to this band a couple of months ago. At first I was expecting to much from them. Mainly because I wasn't to impressed some of Borlands previous outings such as Limp Bizkit and Big Dumb Face. I was completely caught have guard by how good it was. The band has been in rotation on my Zune ever since. I have to give it to Borland though. He can put on a show. The opening band is also worth noting. Retard-o bot. I never thought I would see a band that was heavily influenced by Mindless Self Indulgence. At first I wasn't to into them. But as the set progressed the singer showed some charisma and me over. I forget to check how free memory was on my sd card before the show. Which wasn't much. Unfortunately we only able to recorded a couple songs from Black Light Burns set before we ran out of memory. I have post the videos below. Enjoy!!!
