9.13.17 - Haim with LPX - Ogden Theatre - Denver, CO
Night one of an Ogden Theatre double header!
Kicking off the night was LPX (a.k.a. Lizzy Plapinger of MS MR) with a ton of energy packed into her short set, she never stopped moving around on the stage. You can see some of that energy in the photo, as she twirls her head around! She has a incredible strong voice little bit of rasp to it. They had a high energy cover of Le Tigre’s Deceptacon, which fit into the rest of the set nicely. Only bummer was how incredibly short it was!
The rock-n-roll kept on rolling with the ladies of Haim. I think it was maybe the second song where they perform “Don’t Save Me” I joked with my friend Jill that I was gonna head out after they wrapped up the song, as it was maybe the song I looked forward to the most. Of course I didn’t leave, but it I had then I would’ve missed a damn good night.
They interacted with the us a lot, which I (and everyone else) ate up. At one point somebody threw a bag with some joints on stage, so stage man Chip came up and cleaned it all up, to which bassist Este accused him of stealing all of them for himself. Another fun moment (one of many) with Este was during the beginning of their cover to “That Don’t Impress Me Much” when she was supposed to have come in with the lyrics she instead blurted out that she had forgotten the words.
Periodically throughout the night she would sit down on a bar stool, I never thought anything of it until she mentioned that occasionally she has to do it due to her type 1 diabetes, but that it in no way should make us think she wasn’t up there with all her heart. I’m gonna go out on a limb and assume nobody thought that in the first place!
As the show was winding down, Danielle said that if we all get real pumped up that Este would zip up her skirt and dance get down one more time. Este stayed up on stage and danced, Danielle came down into the lower level crowd, and Alana must’ve hauled ass because all of a sudden she was upstairs!
Great night of music from some kick ass women.
It was awesome!
