Explosions In The Sky

December 22, 2005 | Skip To The Comments (4)

Last weekend, I was lucky enough to see Explosions In the Sky play two nights at the Troubadour in Los Angeles. The shows were bewildering. It doesn't get much better than they played. Here's a cell phone photo of their guitars left on the stage (still wailing distortion and noise) after the last song. The crowd refused to leave until guitarist Mark Smith came back out to thank us and convince us that the show was, indeed, over. If I had the set lists, I'd post them. I was far too mesmerized during the show to even remember. Sorry. If you were there, you'd know what I mean.

    Yeah, same thing in Austin last Friday (January 27th 2006). Munaf came out and said they weren't doing an encore that they were tired. The year before when I saw them they did indeed do an encore. Notwithstanding it was an amazing show.
