Kobra does tend to play great live shows, seen them a couple of times at the Marquis. Haven't been to any non-local shows at Herman's, and never had a bad time. It's been a few years though, maybe something's changed.Well, definitely never going back to Herman's Hideaway.
There were like five bands playing there tonight, but I was only there to see Kobra and the Lotus.
And as luck would have it, the audio quality was flat out horrible for their set. Mics cutting in and out, one cymbal overpowering everything else the whole set for some reason, Kobra stopped after a couple songs to try to fix some buzzing interference to no avail.
I've seen the band play before and they sounded amazing. And they sounded amazing tonight for the small stretches where they could actually be heard. Half the time one guitar overpowered everything and half the time (usually during the solos) it couldn't be heard at all.
I didn't even stay for the headliner.
At least they had the Avs game on TV. I got to watch the whole thing while a gong show of awful opening acts played (with perfect audio quality).
