It was no surprise that #VNVNation would put on an amazing show, but neither of us expected Ronan to hand the kiddo one of the drum sticks at the end of the show. Such a great memento for her first time seeing them!
(Also kudos to the kiddo for grabbing a spot up front while I dealt with merch and coat check; being up at the very front was fun!)
I was also very pleasantly surprised by VNV’s opener, #Traitrs, a duo that seems like the perfect blend of Joy Division and The Cure but is also its own thing. I went into their set cold, but they quickly made me a fan!
