If it sounds gimmicky, it isn’t. The critically acclaimed band is a musical juggernaut, executing mind-bending technical prowess in every way. Breakneck rhythms and complex harmonic structures are this band’s signature and forte, and Sanchez’s vocal aptitude sets him aside from most of today’s lead singers.
In December 2008, the band played a series of four-day concerts called Neverender, in which it performed one of its studio albums each night. The concert was released in a CD/DVD box set as “Neverender: Children of the Fence Edition,” in late March (unfortunately, it looks to be sold out).
Regardless of your status as a comic book fan, Coheed and Cambria is a must-see band at Bonnaroo this year. Its creative energy is sure to reanimate any tired attendee.
