Htda_ @ Wellmont Theatre, 4/28/2013

How to destroy angels_ made their debut in the NYC area last night (4/28) at Wellmont Theatre as their tour made its way east after Coachella (they hit Chicago along the way too). Trent Reznor, for the most part, took a backseat during the show, letting his wife Mariqueen Maandig's sultry vocals take the spotlight. Though, really, they all took a backseat to Htda_'s elaborate stage setup that had the band playing the first part of their set behind a curtain of illuminated cords to dramatic visual effect. DIIV, who continue to tighten their live show, opened (and have done so the whole tour). Htda_ and DIIV play NYC proper tonight (4/29) at the legendary Apollo Theatre, which is sold out.
