VNV Nation and And One: Atlanta Review

[VoldtaEngler]

VNV and And 1 were great last night. And 1 played about a 45-50 minute show and were pretty fun to see live. Steve was like a little energy ball dancing 80's style across the stage. Quite humorous. They did a cover of Projekt Pitchfork's "Timekiller" and during another song I can't recall the name of, in the middle busted out Depeche Mode's "Personal Jesus" for a chorus, then right back into the song. Most of his dancing reminded me of

VNV Nation put on an excellent show as well, playing songs from old and new. Their third song (If i recall) was the new "Descent" (which isn't my favorite track on the new cd) but was damn good live, complete with the drummer and both keyboardists drumming on either side like a synched machine factory.
During one of their slower songs Ronan sneezed..said "I'm sorry, ive never sneezed onstage before in my life!", then tried to continue the song..but couldnt stop laughing..so it ended up being a instrumental for most of the song until he could keep it together (The fans laughing didn't help i bet!) Lol.

During a short 5 minute break, he joked about not liking Southern grits, which i dont blame him.

After the show I presented the band with the VNV goggles (like the Combichrist ones) and we're in talks about that now, but they signed the prototype pair. I sense a contest soon...

Overall: The club was great (Masquerade) and the bands were superb. Well done Europe!

Thank you for reviewing the concert! Do you know if VNV tours often? I intend to go the next time around. And I agree about the club [was just there a few weeks ago] I like it's set-up and size.

They said this was their first tour in 2 years touring the USA. Hope they come back next year though, as they said onstage after about the third song "Jesus..I missed you guys! If you have seen the DVD of ours, we really really really love the south!" hehe

Thanks for tip, I didn't know they were touring. They will be here later this month. Sounds like fun, I'll probably go to that show.
