Live Review: Buried In Verona, Fit For A King, Feed Her To The Sharks, Still Waters Claims
Vocalist Brett Anderson encouraged the audience to start a circle pit during Illuminate while a menacing-looking Sean Gynn and Richie Newman delivered stuttering, thrashing guitar lines. Capping off the show with The Damned, the band left the stage only to return from chants from the audience for an encore and slaying them with a fiery version of Four Years.
