This show wins for all-around phenomenal openers. Mercury Girls (also opening for Fear of Men when I see them) and Flowers were really great bands. If I had more money on me I would've purchased their albums as well. Beverly I would describe as California pop-rock even though the band is from NY. They have almost the same music vibe as Bleached. I discovered this band through Vinyl Me Please and purchased their latest album which is blue swirly wax (almost resembling pool water on the front cover). There wasn't a large crowd which was a shame but people not in attendance really missed out on a fun show. The band offered to donate part of the proceeds from their merch towards the Orlando victims. That got a large round of applause. My friend bought a tee shirt, I bought their first album. I've been spinning that a lot too. The coolest thing was everyone chanting for "One more song!" after the last song in the set. They came back out and covered Teenage Fanclub's "The Concept." YES!
