Opening for Sleigh Bells was Bosco Delrey and CSS. We had never heard of Bosco, but I had heard some of CSS's music, and thought it was OK. It was pretty cool that some of our friends - Gina and Curtis - also had tickets to the show, so we expected to run into them there. We waited forever for the show to start -- Bosco Delrey downright sucked. And I mean bad. His music made absolutely no sense and it was one of the most baffling performances I had ever seen. We actually couldn't tell if he was kidding or not.. because some of his beats were pretty decent, but then he started "sing-talking" and it was honestly a train-wreck. I wanted to feel bad for him, but I really just wanted him to get the flip off the stage.

Dude, it's TIME for a haircut. (And fix your janky collar!) |
It was difficult to even see the show, because I couldn't help but focus on Gigantor Head and his glorious awkwardness as he "jammed" with his crusty girlfriend. Why would he think having whiney-jam-session-looking face would be something anyone would want to look at?! Ever?! He rocked out during their entire performance, doing the shoulder-shrug and making a duck face. Dude. No. Never will that look be cool. Especially with a half-tucked-in collar. Sheesh. We all laughed pretty hard as we imitated his creative shoulder-dancing and groovy moves. I think I had reached my limit as I watched one of his dry, wirey, rogue hairs flying around in the air, attempting to land on me. Thank goodness I dodged that one.
Another 30-minute wait before Sleigh Bells came out, and the crowd went NUTS. It was pretty sweet.. they had dozens of speakers stacked with lights and smoke.. Pretty simple, but I suppose that's all they'd need anyway. I'm pretty sure they played every song off their album: Treats. The show was pretty sick. The biggest bummer was Sleigh Bells' performance seemed ridiculously short compared to what we had to endure with stupid Bosco Delray. Whhyy?? Maybe it was a long show, and it just felt short because I was dancing and rocking out the entire time?
The sound on this video is not the best. Whatevs, though. Sleigh Bells + sick bass = totally worth it.
