Show Review: The Men @ Red7 (6/30)
We knew what we were in for. We saw it coming. We ignored the warning signs. I was heading into my third night of shows in a row, fourth in five days. Things were escalating. Lower Dens -> Howard Jones -> Nada Surf -> The Men. After seeing their sets during SxSW, we knew we had to be at Red7 to see The Men. They made the 2012 top albums so far list, what kind of music-writer-types would we be if we passed up seeing one of our favorites?
Cruddy, Creamers and Destruction Unit opened.
I have been chewing on this review in my brain since the show and I think I have boiled down for you. Click through, thoughts and pics after the break…
