Hollywood's Troubadour is one of those small hole in the
wall type of music venues, that's almost been around for 60 years! Now that's
saying something, so much so in fact, that it's showcased a lot of the music
scene's most unknown and well known acts, including tonight's assessment with
Unearth and Atreyu, circling through a mini tour of sorts. Having of course
this venue as a night to remember.....
Unearth who talked a good chunk of the time, mentioned that
Atreyu were good friends of theirs so opening before them was quite the show,
if you know what I mean. Anyway, Unearth's setlist was intense, a lot of the
old and a lot of the new, off their catalog of sorts, like "Giles",
"The Swarm", "Never Cease" were a lot of the newer and
later works, while their earlier material included such tunes as "Zombie
Autopilot" and "The Great Dividers", had the crowd tossing and
turning in the mosh pit, while others around it, jumped up and down, waved
their arms, to shouting whatever came to mind, everyone in the band's eyesight,
motioned for some attention, as they praised their approval for the band. The
band themselves, gave it their all, as they ran around the stage, really
embracing the music, as each member gave it their all, truly, the main frontman
vocalist, really interacting with the crowd, rising his fist, to shouting in
their faces, to just having a good old time in general, Unearth know how to put
on a show, and play it to its fullest efforts and that they did here.

Next up was the headliners of the evening, Atreyu of course,
who started off with some new material off their latest release, which lead
right into their old material that got everyone amongst the crowd of on
lookers, hyped and pumped up! Literally everyone in the crowd was screaming,
shouting, jumping, and moshing all over the place, that it ward hard not to
avoid interaction with somebody. Their setlist of course included the new
material like "Long Live", "Start To Break" "Do You
Know Who You Are?", were the new songs while most of the rest was all of
the classic hits like "Becoming the Bull", "Right Side of the
Bed", "The Crimson", "Bleeding Mascara". and
"Lipgloss and Black", were the ones that kept everyone flowing with
such energy it was flawless. One of the other songs that they did perform was
done in a unique way, "Ex's and Oh's" was performed in a hardcore
punk style, with a more upbeat energy and appeal, having the instruments
sounding more fast and raw, really had everyone in the crowd excited more for this
version than the original version. So that was an interesting take on another
classic, which they did it right and it sounded great.
Atreyu:
Atreyu's set was an impressive one, having been on hiatus
for a while, these guys have come back from that stage with full on force,
showcasing that even after a break that they still got it. Even after all of
these years, they are still here, doing what they do best, create the music,
and play it long and hard. As the band's sixth album showcases, "Long
Live" long live Atreyu indeed.
