Dillinger Escape Plan is coming to Birmingham two days after
I graduate high school? Happy graduation gift from me to me! I have listened to
DEP for a long time and I was super stoked to finally have an opportunity to
see them. They had not been in Alabama since 2002 either so this show was
pretty special. The first band was a local band called Of Men And Angel Flesh
or OMAAF. They did not win me over, but they did have short songs with funny
titles, such as “I Forgot To Put The Cheese On My GD Nachos” which maxed out at
about 10 seconds. The band that followed them was called Royal Thunder from
Atlanta. They were awesome. Their singer reminded me of Lzzy Hale from
Halestorm and Renee Phoenix from Fit For Rivals. She had a very raspy voice and
I really liked it. I really hope they come back to the area because I would
totally go see them again. The next band was The Faceless. They reminded me of
a grungy-metal-hardcore band. Their singer looked like he stepped straight out
of the 90s and played like it too. They did not win me over too much either.
But then it was time for Dillinger so I was excited. Prior to this show, I
heard that DEP was an extremely hard band to photograph and boy, is that
accurate. Not only did they have fog machines and strobe lights, they moved
around faster than the speed of light (this is the only comparison I could
think of and I have no interest in how fast the speed of light really is. I
just know that it is fast.) I was more than willing to accept this challenge.
(I like to think it was successful.) They played
