Article: The Black Widow Tour 5/14/15

Ahh The Paramount of Huntington, Long Island. The tour has to be worth the travel, especially when its $30+ round trip on Long Island Rail Road. IF I have a lift then that’s different, but it has to be worth it. This tour, absolutely worth it. With a Butcher Babies press approval and a surprise WORKING badge courtesy of my good friend Adrian Velez, I could have not been happier with this experience. In This Moment has played big shows in Manhattan, but their stages compared to the Paramount were minuscule in size. Due to Maria Brinks massive stage production, her entire ensemble fit on the Paramount stage with room to breathe. Nothing felt cluttered, The lighting was spot on and there were no issues what-so-ever. Upon A Burning Body got me excited as they usually do, but now as a four piece, removing guitarist Sal Dominguez from the line-up. I heard no hiccups or hindrances from the performance. As tough as it was for me to hear the news, its always in the bands best interest to make their choices. Love UABB regardless and for me, I wish Sal the best on his endeavors as someone who photographed his time on the band. Butcher Babies were dazzling as per usual. The dynamic duo of Heidi and Carla proved to be more menacing for my vision than I anticipated, thanks to the extra space on the stage for them to run around and cause pandemonium on. Heidi however, took it to the barricades on the floor with us photographers towards the end of our photog stint. As the night progressed, I was able to converse with members of In This Moment before and after their show, along with UABB and Butcher Babies. Hanging in the back room chatting with everyone on the tour was quite an experience because they are all generally nice people in their nature. I could not complain one bit about this tour, as every In This Moment tour has turned out spectacular since I have been following them as a journalist. Every band just keeps it top notch, on and off the stage. Check out the photos below of every band and go see those bands live whenever they show up to your city or town.
