COHEED AND CAMBRIA LIVE!! | RITZ IN RALEIGH
Coverage by James Benson
On August 26, Coheed & Cambria brought their tour to the Ritz and packed the place full of fans. But, before Coheed took the stage, Olivia Jean was up first. Now, I'll be honest, I have never heard of them before so I wasn't quite sure what to expect. But, what I wasn't expecting was a band to really bring it and be very enjoyable. They have a rock-abilly, punk vibe to them and they are wonderful live. They definitely brought the energy to the Ritz. The crowd was moving and singing along with them as they played. Olivia Jean was awesome and got the crowd ready for Coheed & Cambria. The lights went out and the crowd got loud as Coheed & Cambria took the stage. It was a very packed Ritz and everyone was having a good time. Many people were singing along with Claudio Sanchez on every song. Also, Claudio is a very underrated guitarist. Dude can shred! And every song they played was a hit. One thing I noticed was the mixture of fans, from metal to pop fans. Coheed & Cambria is one of those rare bands that have fans from all genres. Also what I noticed that was cool was the families there. Parents bringing their kids to the show to introduce them to an amazing band. Coheed & Cambria is a must see live show. They bring and give everything they have to make sure their fans have an amazing time! Go see them on this tour!
