Big hair, glitter and some of the best shoes I've seen in a while.
[ 8/6 ] Temples fulfilled its glam-rock persona: big hair, glitter and some of the best shoes I’ve seen in a while. The UK rockers kicked the night off with “Sun Structures,” the title track of their debut. The heavy guitar riffs and powerful drum lines boomed over the crowd. Singer-guitarist James Edward Bagshaw was a powerful stage presence, constantly raising his hands above his head and towering his guitar over the crowd. The tight harmonies between Bagshaw and the backing band certainly lived up to the record. The biggest hit of the night was the close, “Shelter Song,” which had everyone singing along.
