As I pulled up to the venue I was met with a huge line outside the Roxian Theatre as fans came out in the masses for Polyphia tonight in the Burgh. The attendance for tonight seen the crowd line up several blocks down from the venue then wrap around to the back lot and back towards the backside of the venue. Such a great turn out for Polyphia. Polyphia have been taking the music world by storm with each new song comes a new innovation or technique introduced to instrumental music. Known for thesongs Playing God, Goat, and 40 Oz. ; the band continues to push the ability of their instruments.
First on the bill is Unprocessed, a German instrumental band.They use a blend of clean and harsh vocals, with fingerstyle guitar, and technical prog metal, and a load of shred to create very textured songs. The bands performance is very relaxed with points of high energy scattered throughout. For a band who has been with Polyphia for 2 months on the road, there is so much potential. I’d love to see where there a year from now, after refining and developing their music further.
Polyphia took the stage next, and the crowd erupted with energy. Crowd surfers began coming over the barricade as the band played on encouraging a party atmosphere as they worked through their set. Hit songs like 40 Oz, Champagne, and Playing God were huge hits. The band took a moment before an encore of G.O.A.T., and finishing out with their set with Euphoria.
Overall the show had a very relaxed feel while allowing everyone to have a good time. Great music from some of the best musicians on the planet provided the soundtrack to the party at the Rox this night. This is definitely a tour not to sleep on when it comes to your town.
