Monday Muse: STARSET - MANIFEST (Official Music Video)

When I first heard this song, I was obsessed (and I still am).  I'd never heard of Starset, but the song was super compelling to me.  Enough that I had to watch the video.  And oh, what SF goodness it is!  A little more research told me the lead singer was a total nerd (also all kinds of eye candy and super smart).  Obviously, that meant I needed to see them in real life.  Lucky for me, they came to CT in October 2019.  The place where they played (The Webster) is a crud hole in the worst part of Hartford.  BUT, the show was friggin' amazing.  The special effects were awesome, the theme was super cool, there were kick butt backup ladies playing stringed instrument, the costumes were literally out of this world, plus it was interactive -- you could scan QR codes all over the walls to see neat videos associated with the album.  The opening bands were pretty unique and fantastic as well.  One of the best concerts I've ever been to, hands down.  It made leaving the venue to find out that my brand new car had been broken into kind of worth it...
