The opening act Gliss, a three piece from Los Angeles consisted of David Reiss on guitar, bass and tambourine, Martin Klingman on vocals, guitar, keyboard, bass and drums and the Danish vixen Victoria Cecilia on drums, bass, background vocals, programming and b3 organ. The song highlight was the extremely catchy Halfway Gone, which was dream like with dark seductive rhythms, big bass fuzz, surfy guitar riffs and retro drums beats with of course lots of crashing symbols. All three of the members kept switching instruments and stage locations, hence the description above. Klingman’s voice sounded just as if he was the songbird teenage love child of Sonic Youth’s Kim Gordon and Thurston Moore. His voice was hauntingly sexy, he had that just out of bed after a long night of drinking whiskey and attending beatnik poetry open-mic happenings. The band was selling their EP and tee shirts for the amazingly cheap price of 5 euros each after the show and I bought one of each gladly.

Similar Sounds: Death Cab for Cutie, The Raveonettes, The Kills, and Longwave

Roots Influences: My Bloody Valentine, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Siouxsie and the Banshees. I highly recommend checking them out at : http://www.gliss.tv
