Dark Star Orchestra Providence Concert reviews
Incubus could care less about their fans
"Sadly, Dark Star Orchestra was probably the best show. Deftones show is meant for the deaf. They went on hiatus years ago because they felt the fans were no longer into them. Maybe it's them who no longer care about their fans. Deftones music, who did play a good show, played for about an hour and walked off stage without an encore to be had. I'll always be a fan of who Death from Above 1979 was but I'll never pay to see them again. And Dark Star Orchestra, if you've never seen them and you are a fan, I guess it's still worth seeing them once but you'll probably be disappointed overall."
