Live Reviews Live Review: Satellite Party
Posted By Jeff Hahne on Wed, Sep 12, 2007 at 4:02 PM
Satellite Party w/ Mink
The Orange Peel, Asheville
Sept. 10, 2007
The Deal: Former Jane's Addiction/Porno for Pyros frontman Perry Farrell showcases new band, old songs.
The Good: Opener Mink played a solid set of retro-rock. Their energetic frontman was all over the place — in a good way — and did a great job of warming up the crowd. Farrell's new band may have switched up lineups in the last few months after guitarist Nuno Bettencourt left, but the new guys were just as tight. The band played a mix of songs from Jane's Addiction, Porno for Pyros and their own stuff - "Just Because," "Mountain Song," "Wish Upon a Dog Star," "Superhero" and the encore of "Stop" and "Jane Says." (They practiced "Ocean Size" during sound check, but it wasn't performed.) Perry's voice was in perfect form, his wife, Etty, writhed around while singing backup vocals and new guitarist Nick Perry.
The Bad: It wasn't Jane's Addiction. And it was a bit odd/funny that Farrell was wearing a black and white striped shirt - just like Billy Corgan did back in June.
The Deal: Farrell is an amazing performer, but it still wasn't Jane's. Keep your eye on Mink ...

Live Reviews Live Review: Mandy Moore

Mandy Moore
Amos' Southend
Sept. 9, 2007
The Deal: Singer/actress aims to prove that she's moved past her teen pop years.
The Good: I expected a light, pop show as heard on the singer's new album, Wild Hope, but was pleasantly surprised. Moore may be better known as an actress these days, but she showcased her base as a singer to the small crowd of a few hundred. While most of the songs came from the new album, she also performed a few covers — Cat Stevens' "Moonshadow" and Rihanna's "Umbrella" were among them. The only song from her early days was a reworked "Candy," and Moore was shocked by the crowd asking for "Only Hope." "We don't know that one, yet," she told the crowd. "I had no idea people liked it so much!" Maybe it will be on the setlist the next time around. The addition of a full band gave Moore a full sound that was a little more rock than is heard on the album.
The Bad: Amazingly, I really can't pick out anything bad about the show. Moore is still young and appeared uncomfortable at times, but for the most part, she had fun and showed that she is doing what she loves by singing on stage. She noted that it's her first "real tour" after performing only a few songs a night during her teen years. She saved "Umbrella" and "Candy" for the last two songs of the night, which left her unprepared for an encore — or so it appeared.
The Verdict: There's a lot of potential here. Moore's live show has more energy and a slightly harder edge than the new album would let on. If she can keep the music going - without disappearing into acting for years at a time — her fan base will definitely increase. She'll shed the teen pop image in no time.
