- Breaking Benjamin “didn’t just take the stage, they f—ing suppressed it! Talk about showmanship! Two-thirds through their performance, Ben Burnley invited two friends to come out on stage and perform a song while he went into the crowd to hand out an entire case of water. I’ve been to plenty of shows and know how hot it gets in the pit. It’s always appreciated when a band tosses a few bottles of water out. And usually that’s all it is; four or five bottles. Literally, two cases of water were passed out!” (The Sock Puppets From Hell)
- “Pretty damn cool last night! The lead singer is GORGEOUS, although apparently she is one of three they have had. She’s French. cute and sexy. … The lead guitarist, though (and founder of Morcheeba)? Holy mother of God — towards the end of the night he turned into Tom Morello. He was ROCKING that guitar out. I was completely impressed. Enthralled. That guy was good. And he was completely into it. They also had a saxophone solo that rocked my socks off.” (The Ratio Of People To Cake Is Too Big)
- “My god. That was so much fun. … I hope I never forget this. I hope that if I ever have a seizure or I get Alzheimer’s or something, I’ll always remember Max Bemis and my friends and dancing and Say Anything and an amazing night. I had been counting down for April 2nd for a long time. It was worth it.” (3×5)
- “Having attended a lot of electronic/DJ shows, I am used to watching a couple guys stand on stage, play around with their MacBook Pro, take swigs of Hennessy and occasionally adjust their hats. [Digitalism’s] Jens Moelle and İsmail Tüfekçi put them to shame. They took over the whole stage, with real turntables and mics. (Did you know that the vocals on their tracks are not computer-generated but are their own voices? I did not.) Foregoing the aloofness that is typical of their peers, they jumped around, danced, sang and engaged the crowd through a heavy German accent.” (Losanjealous)
