Owen @ Maxwell’s

So I finally got to see Owen live. He cancelled his show last year and the show before that. WTF?! I was also happy to have an excuse to go to Maxwell’s, which is still one of my favorite venues. The show was surprisingly sold out, but that was probably due to the headlining act that attracted every 12-18 year old in New Jersey. Openers B.C. Camplight actually weren’t that bad, but I was there mainly to see Owen. He had a partial beard and had uncanny resemblance to his brother. And much like Tim, he was quite rude and aloof on stage. Unfortunately the crowd was not receptive and he only played 30 minutes. He did play my favorite songs so not all was lost, but not worth seeing again. Closing act I Can Make a Mess like Nobody’s Business is the reason why all emo music should be burned and buried. They had terrible song structures, even worse lyrics, and kept rehashing crappy emo songs that was popular many years ago. Walked out after the 3rd song. Genuine audio garbage.
