After B+TEC's amazing set, The Stationary Set hopped on stage to wow us once again! (For background info. on The Stat. Set, see my post below, "The Stationary Set @ Fontana's, 2.7.09").First, it must be acknowledged that Gabriel Kubitz is a superhero for playing two sets with two different bands back-to-back. Here he is, rockin' out on bass, as per usual!
Second, it should also be stated that while playing, the band had almost NO sound coming out of the monitors (seriously). The audience could hear the band easily--but the band could not hear itself. Epic fail, Webster Hall, epic fail. However, not to be discouraged, the band played an UNBELIEVABLE set with really excellent attitudes! They looked like they were having a great time, and got the entire crowd (which, by this point, was drunk and chatty) totally engrossed in the music.
The set focused on songs from The Stat Set's new EP, which was made available for free download the day after this show. As a quasi-release party for said EP, the show was a HUGE success! Not only did they play all four songs from the EP to an ecstatic audience, but they also played other new songs that will likely be included on the upcoming album, to be released this fall.
It was great to see The Stat Set headlining (or sharing the headline with B+TEC) at Webster Hall. While the show had some sound problems, the audience was totally unaware and enjoyed every minute of their incredible set. As it should be.
