I am anxious to perform Synapse from beginning-to-end in addition to fan favorites for a night of sensory immersion they won't soon forget."

Much like the writing process, which included me painting my studio 9 different colors for each song, I plan to use the stage as a blank canvas to vividly bring the audience into that experience with me, but in a live setting. He had this to say, "This tour will visually reflect the concept of what my newest release, Synapse, is all about. Vivaldi will be performing his newest album, Synapse, in its entirety at these shows. The Melodic Decadence tour is scheduled to kick off on June 22nd in Poughkeepsie, NY at the The Chance Theaterand and will be concluding July 21st in Clifton, NJ at Dingbatz. tour that will also include support from Hyvmine, and Day of Reckoning will be joining the bill for various dates. They ended the night with Andy James taking the stage with Vivaldi to play their new collaborative song, “Waves of Synergy,” with Letchford also joining in for a performance that’s reminiscent of the legendary original G3 Tour with Satriani, Vai & Johnson.Angel Vivaldi has announced that he will be hitting the road this summer for a U.S. His performance is fantastic, and you know he’s having fun when he gets a quick manicure while still maintaining a melody. He puts his entire being into every single song, regardless of audience size. As a longtime fan of his, I can honestly say that he is better live than his studio recordings-more so in that you can’t see him playing when you’re listening to the lightning fast “An Erisian Autumn”-it’s something that has to be witnessed. As a prog-rock outfit, their playing isn’t as much about how many notes can be fit into a bar a lot of time changes and clever riffs abounded.Īngel Vivaldi was the final musician, and he started his set by playing an old Michael Jackson song, with appropriately choreographed dancing.

The band utilized a projector screen to back their songs with abstract video imagery (which also made shooting photos of the band nearly impossible). Scale the Summit was a big change, playing through complex rhythms and keys while guitarist Chris Letchford and bassist Kilian Duarte‘s contrasting playing styles kept the audience’s eyes roving.

I know I’m not alone in saying that it would be great to see him in 2018 with a full band and a longer set.

James played a good portion of his new album, Exodus, which is full of fast-paced picking and tapping that’s counterbalanced by choruses full of drawn-out, emotional riffs.

James stays relatively static and stoically unleashes his seven-stringed ESP while glaring out into the crowd beneath his signature black beanie. There are different types of guitar heroes, and Andy James is not the showman-type. I really enjoyed their set and will be going to see them again, for sure!Īndy James is on the tour without band support, so he gets up on the stage and burns the place down with all other parts pre-recorded. Local metal band Machines of Man opened the show with a mix of melodic vocals and screams, heavy guitar riffs and driving drums over a smattering of unconventional time signatures-far more thoughtful than a lot of American hardcore–influenced bands.
