Empire State Bastard was a great band, I only wish they had been able to play to a crowd more geared for heavy music. Although they have their heavy moments, Sleep Token is a much more accessible band that ESB’s and because of that, we got a sense that many in the crowd didn’t connect with it as much. That made us only appreciate them more.
Sleep Token was, without a doubt, the most impressive production I have ever seen from a band. An experience that even if you’re someone (like me) that doesn’t usually notice lighting and design, will make you notice. Extra grateful for the great seats in this arena, and to also be staged right behind the crew, watching them make the magic happen. Getting to meet and chat with Richard, the lighting designer, afterwards was a bonus as well.
