CONCERT REVIEW: Jinjer – HANABIE – Born of Osiris Live at The Aztec Theatre


Jinjer’s latest US tour brought a blend of musical tastes that delivered on many levels. As before, I bought the meet and greet package for this run.  This one ended up being a bit more special. Being limited to 15 people per venue, this current iteration included an exclusive VIP shirt, signed poster, a Jinjer bag, photo ops and you could bring up to five items to be signed. But the most intriguing part of this package was being able to watch their soundcheck, which included the songs “Pearls and Swine” and “Pieces!” It was nothing short of magical. It was akin to having the band playing just for you in an intimate setting.  Afterwards, we were able to go on stage and see what the bands sees as they stare out into the vast venue playing for the fans. Another plus was being able to talk with all the band members and ask questions about anything. Hope they continue with this version of meet and greets, it’s truly something that I want to experience again.Continue reading
