Fall of Troy

On April 14th 2010 I saw Fall of Troy's farewell show at the Mohawk place. It was amazing. It was everything I expected and more. Fall of Troy has come to Buffalo a few times before but I had never taken the chance to see them. I regret that; this show blew me away. So here is how it went down.
I went down the to concert with my friends girlfriend Kathie. We were meeting Michael down there, he was driving up from Fredonia. So we all met up and went to get something to eat at the local gas station. After eating we went inside to a packed Mohawk place with the band sitting at the bar. We made our way into the crowd seeing a few familiar faces, we looked at the merch, we went back outside. The first band was about to go on so we headed back in.
The first band was from Scotland, do not remember their name for a certain reason. They were not that great. Int resting but not that good. We left after a couple songs and came back for the second band who was setting up and then they began to play. We left.
On coming back I stopped to talk to a friend who was also talking with Thomas Erak and Andrew Forsman. Mike and Kathie had already walked inside. I was being introduced to the band minus one member. They were pretty cool. I was glad to have met the band during the last show in Buffalo. We talked for a minute then I went inside to a cover of House of the Rising Sun being played by the Second band. I'm glad they said it was their last song.
So after about fifteen minutes of waiting outside and for the bands to break down and set up I was on the brink of the dance floor. I decided I would get right up into the front. I got pretty damn close; as close as I was going to get at that point. The band walked on stage and everything seemed so perfect. They went into the first song and it was like a bomb went off. If memory server correct it was Mouths Like Sidewinder Missiles. The first few songs were off Doppelganger. Every song was just tight; listening to what this band produces it just immaculate. It is just arranged and played so well. Very, very talented musicians. Hearing this bands recordings makes it hard to believe they're just a three piece band.
Into about ten minutes of the show I took of my glasses and hat and kept them from getting stomped on. Kids were crowd surfing and trying to get as close as possible as Thomas Erak would come into the crowd while absolutely throwing down on guitar. Everything was wet, the band members, the crowd, me. It was a truly intense expedience one that will stick with me.
Finally the last song was announced and it was F.C.P.R.E.M.I.X. off of Doppelganger. And the crowd went absolutely insane and so did I. It was a complete devastation when the song was over. I might not ever be able to see this band again; but they completely reinforced my idea of this band being amazing in all aspects. I left the show a ridiculously happy man. I had just seen a great show, and met the band.
I forgot to mention. I bought a disposable camera for this.
