Revolt Tour Hits Saint Andrews

Saturday night, rap/rockers Hollywood Undead brought their Revolt Tour to Detroit for a sold out show at Saint Andrews Hall.

The band puts forth a interesting mix of genres that often blend within the same song making it hard to describe their sound to the average listener.

This confusion has led them to be one of those bands who are either fiercely loved or absolutely despised.

Love them or hate them, the band does put on a good live show and this was true on Saturday as they had bursting smoke blasts and a non-stop party vibe that had the crowd worked up into a frenzy.

Hollywood Undead also draws a wide ranging audience ranging from young kids with their parents to young teenage girls to heavy metal lovers and they all packed into Saint Andrews creating one of the most packed and wild shows I've seen.

The show was opened by rock band New Medicine and Drive A whose bland sets nonetheless did what they were supposed to; get the crowd ready for the rest of the evening.

Alternative metal band 10 Years was up next and were the highlight of the evening with their Tool-esque sound and front man Jesse Hasek's enthusiasm which included a trip out into the crowd.

They had a short set but they managed to pack in a number of their most well known hits including "Wasteland" and "Beautiful".

Hollywood Undead opened their show with "Undead" and kept things moving from there.

The band began the evening in their trademark hockey masks but shed them a few songs in.

Throughout their set the six band members rotated places as they all took turns on the mike.

Lead vocalist Daniel Murillo (Danny) and vocalist/guitarist Jordon Terrell (Charlie Scene) play well off of each other on stage blending Murillo's power rock choruses with Terrell's party rapping style.

However, things ground to a halt everytime the other members hit the mike with their weaker voices.

Luckily, the bulk of the songs went to Murillo and Terrell with the party song "Comin' In Hot" and the ballad "Coming Back Down" being the highlights.

The bulk of the set was from their latest album American Tragedy but they did pull out some songs from their first album Swan Songs including the popular "Black Dahlia".
