Pale Divine (above) played to an avid fan base at The Pageant on December 15. To some, they’ll always be The Eyes, much like Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre will always be Riverport, Stifel Theatre will always be Kiel Opera House, or Highway 64 will be 40. No matter the name or how many years have gone by (around 30, gulp) Pale Divine put on the show of shows with solid and tight sound throughout the two-plus-hour K-SHE95-sponsored show. It included hits such as “Couldn’t Happen to You,” which elicited squeals from the crowd, “My Addiction,” and “Something About Me." They closed out the night with “Universe.”
At one point, after thanking everyone for coming, guitarist Richard Fortus admitted that this was the most nervous he’d been for a show in a long time. If he was nervous, he kept it well-hidden and appeared to be having a blast onstage.
The audience was a who’s who collection, with members of other local bands—including El Monstero, The Unconscious, Corporate Humour, and others—glimpsed throughout the crowd.
The Follow (below), from Columbia, Missouri, opened the night with the trio’s sweet melodies.
