Spring concerts are in full effect in Arizona and while we’ve near perfect weather, the temperature’s rose to new highs for March. Wednesday 13 rolled into Mesa, AZ at the Nile Theater and they definitely brought the hordes with them. Wednesday 13 has a huge following in AZ and the buzz is always strong anytime they announce a new tour. Known for their macabre lyrics and theatrical performances, Wednesday 13 invited along similarly ghoulishly incredible bands Stitched Up Heart, The Dead Rabbitts, and I Ya Toyah. No one on the bill disappointed, and everyone delivered a show that would send shivers down the spines of all in attendance.
As the lights dimmed and the eerie music filled the venue, Wednesday 13 took to the stage, commanding the attention of the crowd with his haunting presence and signature corpse-like look. With each song, he transported the audience to a world of horror and fantasy, with tales of ghosts, ghouls, and all things sinister. The energy in the room was electric as fans sang along to literally every word (outside of the new songs they debuted). The crowd was completely enthralled by this master horror storyteller. As the final notes of the night echoed and faded away in the darkness, the crowd wanted more, more, more.
