After two years of absence, and with new music in their arsenal, Iowa's own Modern Life Is War returned to Europe for a string of club shows and festivals.
I was able to catch a show in France, along with Cro-Mags and Higher Power.
The Brits took the stage at 19:30. Having already seen Higher Power in the city a few months prior, I was expecting greater participation from the crowd. The band had every good intention to engage more people but unfortunately, the generation that was waiting for Cro-Mags is not very familiar with that scene. Although the turnout wasn't very bad, I was sad to see just a couple of kids (whom I'm pretty sure I remember from the last time) showcasing their incredible gymnastics skills. (7)

Cro-Mags was next. I had very high hopes after the madness that The Sound Of Revolution was, and to a certain extent I wasn't disappointed when the first stagedives occurred. Sure, I wouldn't mind more participation from the crowd that seemed to know all the words to the classic hymns, but I was very content with the vibe of the band to mind the horseshoe gap forming behind the third row.
