Notes
Ask anyone about legendary Volta shows of this era and of course you are going to hear about their NYE performance. Featuring acoustic performances of their more mellow songs and the debut of Since We’ve Been Wrong nearly 18 months before we’d hear it on Octahedron. This show is a beast. The boot is sadly a little rough around the edges sonically, but still worth your time. Fun fact there was a website that would show you the flyer for this show and played about 30 seconds of Metatron which was our first exposure to that song

The band had been testing the waters of some of the new songs that would appear on that album, specifically Goliath and Wax Simulacra which were billed as Rapid Fire Tollbooth and Idle... read more
