NOT a Joy Zipper @ Avalon 4/22/05 review
I am a jackass. Having purchased a ticket for the Joy Zipper - Dogs Die in Hot Cars - Phoenix show mostly to see the opener to the opener, Joy Zipper, I managed to arrive at the show in time for the last sustain of Joy Zipper's set. Distrust for a ticket that said the concert started at 7:00, a poor venue Web site, Hollywood Boulevard traffic, and my idiotically heading for the show without knowing precisely where the Avalon was are all to blame.
So here is my Joy Zipper review. The last 15 seconds of their final song sounded OK. Their merchandise table attendant was a nice guy (and son of the namesake actual human being Joy Zipper). And the merch was very reasonably priced.
As for the rest of the show... Dogs Die in Hot Cars were really disappointing. Their CD is full of smart pop songs with driving rhythms and catchy pop hoooks, and the music seemed like a perfect fit for a live show. Unfortunately, the band (lead singer in particular) seem a little too seduced by the chance to be rock stars. Which means a loose show where songs are sung at the top of one's lungs, no matter what it does to the vocal chords and intricate harmonies. Backing music was also a lot muddier than on the record, which didn't help any. Too bad, because occasionally it all came together and they showcased what really are good songs (like Godhopping and Lounger).
The headliners were Phoenix. I don't know anything about them, but after a couple songs I knew they sounded good, their sound was more mature than Dogs Die in Hot Cars, and they sang songs I had no interest in hearing. So I left.
