Graveyard

We were in the 17th row next to the soundboard when Graveyard kicked things off. Hailing from Gothenburg, Sweden, where heavy metal still sings the blues, they were the only band on the bill that I had not seen before. Joakim Nilsson took the stage at 7:00pm to warm things up with a solo performance before his band joined him for “The Siren” from 2011’s excellent Hisingen Blues. Obviously Graveyard flew here from Sweden, but they might as well have come on a time machine from the 70’s. Every member of the band sports a mustache and straight hair that rides well past the shoulder line. They are heavy as hell, but they don’t shy away from the ballads that are truly more blues than they are metal. Rockers like “Ain’t Fit to Live Here” and “Endless Night” were always followed by slow smokers like “Hard Times Lovin’” and “Slow Motion Countdown”. I’m not sure the early evening crowd really picked up on what they were throwing down, but for my money they were worth the price of admission alone. I was really looking forward to seeing this band and they blew away my expectations. Their shout-out to the locals in Speedwolf just made me like them even more. The set was a stripped down, no-frills, down-and-dirty rock show that had an emotional weight that only the deaf could deny. I’m anxiously waiting for them to come back to Colorado to headline a smaller venue. Maybe their smoke machine will do more damage t -

This is not a reflection of Graveyard. This is a result of Songkick giving me bad info and me still being quite salty.
So, Songkick asked me to review "the show" ... Well, Graveyard played w Black Mountain the night before and then the night after. But, no Graveyard in Richmond,VA. Songkick gave me bad info and I bought tickets months in advance only to learn on 10/2/19 that Graveyard was in fact NOT PLAYING on 10/3/19 in Richmond. I was quite bummed. I do wanna give a shout out to The Broadberry and Eventbrite for refunding the cost of the 3 tickets. I can only hope I get to see these cats one day !

The show exceeded my expectations!

Great performance by the whole band. The sound was not perfect but it was good enough. The length of the show good although you can't just get enough of your favourite group!

Reasonably priced tickets if one booked early.

Musicians were really down to earth and a built good rapport with audience wich responded wonderfully although a bit shy as the show started.

Adorable musicianship by the band and just perfect vocals coming from the graveyard somewhere.

One of the best shows so far!!

Great show, we enjoyed a lot, and the place is well organized, comfortable, equipped with enough easy to use lockers, with good ventilation. The only but painful disappointment was the sound, so badly managed with so good possibilities. At the beginning you barely heard the voice, then something else became too strong - bass or heights. Only closer to the end of the show it became balanced enough so you could hear good both instruments and vocal.

Awesome show, the band is phenomenal and very approachable.

The repertoire was what everyone expected and had an incredible time seeing them! It started on time, the length of the time was adequate. The vibe of the concert was electric and everyone had a great time. It's one of those bands that deliver playing live, Joakim Nilsson's voice was superb. Very happy of being able to see them live.

Amazing gig! Love when bands sound better live than recordings (recordings are great, but live was even better).
I have seen Graveyard several times, never disappointed:)
Will definitely catch them next time they are in Australia.
One of my favorite current bands!
Thanks for the tunes and a great gig Graveyard!!

Super soirée avec Kamchatka, Graveyard et Clutch pour finir. C'est dommage que nos amis suédois de Graveyard n'aient joué que 40 minutes parce que c'était très très bien. Faudra les revoir tous seuls pour en profiter pleinement.

Show was great, the band performed better live than on records.
The place for the show was kind of narrow, so not many people got close to the stage, but the sound was very good. Great show overall, would certainly go again.
