65daysofstatic | Maxwells - Hoboken, NJ | May 11, 2008
The last time I saw 65daysofstatic, they had been awake for something like four days straight, been chewed up and spit out through Customs and barely made it to the first show on their tour. Despite all those circumstances, they put on one of the most memorable sets that I saw from the past year. Now, they are back in the states supporting The Cure and doing their own separate headlining shows. Sadly, Sunday night’s show only had about thirty people in the crowd (some blamed it on Mothers Day). Once again, that didn’t stop the boys from Britain from putting on an amazing show. Whether is was fan favorites like “Reatreat! Retreat!” or “A Failsafe,” the group thrashed around stage while creating a pummeling wall of sonic noise. Electronic drum beats crashed in the background, while distorted guitar tones blasted through the speakers. It may have been a slow night at the best venue in Hoboken, but you wouldn’t have known it by the way 65daysofstatic owned the stage.
