“My wife, daughter, and I went to The Echo last night to see SIAMES, and we had an absolute blast. The venue is basically a small, dark box with a bar on the left and merch on the right as you face the stage. There is a bench wrapping around the back wall, which is great if you need a break from jumping around and screaming along with the band. The place was sold out and packed, which is exactly what you would expect from a venue this size. If you need personal space, this probably is not your spot. But if you want an intimate, high-energy show where the crowd is right there with the band, it is a lot of fun. The sound leveling was a little distorted at times, and it did feel like it could have used a better sound check, but SIAMES brought so much energy that it honestly did not ruin the night for us. We knew all the songs anyway and had a great time. The staff also seemed to be enjoying the show, which added to the vibe. Drink prices were pretty much on par for the area and similar venues, but I am also old enough now that paying that much for a beer makes part of my soul leave my body. Still, if you just want something to keep your throat ready for more screaming, it does the job. Overall, we had a fantastic night. The Echo is small, crowded, loud, and a little rough around the edges, but for the right show, that is exactly part of the charm.”
