Atsuko Okatsuka Honolulu Concert reviews
Pretty Great!
The opening act, recognizable from a television commercial, was the ear drum bursting "Sleigh Bells." That's all I can say nicely about it. The first half of the show was amazing for Atsuko Okatsuka. It seemed heavy on the Blood Sugar Sex Magik, an album I'm not too keen of. The encore was not so good. They also did a little jam session on strange instruments that made me anxious as to when they'd start playing their music again. They took about five minutes soloing each weird instrument, thus, it lasted too long. When I say "jam session," I really mean that. The show was great besides that. The performance of their new songs sold them for further listeners and was very good. I was disappointed that they didn't play Otherside. It would have been perfect for the mood of the show. Hopefully, next time they are in Boston they will.
