Today's Cryptoquip Clue: S equals O Jackpot Saloon's emo revival concert impresses crowd CONCERT REVIEW By Jake Waters entertain@kansan.com While the band Into It Over It may have been headlining, it was the group The World is a Beautiful Place and I am no Longer Afraid to Die that stole the show Friday night. The Jackpot Saloon, located at 943 Massachusetts St., was packed on Friday with fans waiting to see their favorite bands in the emo revival scene. Local Kansas City group Maps for Travelers opened and were well received, playing songs from their debut album "Change Your Name" with high energy. The highlight of their set was the song "Swoon," which featured an emotional vocal performance and tight instrumentation. They served as a great local representation for the show. On after them was the aforementioned The World is a Beautiful Place and I am no Longer Afraid to Die. Despite having one of the longest band names I have ever seen, they were the band that I had the most anticipation for seeing live. I first became familiar with them through hearing their debut album over the summer and was enthralled with their captivating lyrics of grappling with one's mortality. Originally, I had thought that they were headlining and after this tour I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case. Their incredible musicianship bordered on post-rock at times, and worked well with the emotional catharsis of the vocal performance, which at first seemed like it would be an odd match but proved otherwise. The band consists of eight talented musicians and each member works off of each other to create a cohesive sound Even with some slight sound issues in their opening track, they were still able to continue without losing a beat. My favorite songs included "Gig Life," which deals with the difficulties of maintaining a relationship while on the road, and the powerhouse closer "Getting Sodas," which left the audience chanting for more songs as the last chords faded. I don't think I have been to a show where the crowd was enthusiastically cheering an opening band as they did for this group. Next up was the Brooklyn, N.Y., based group. A Great Big Pile of Leaves, whose anthemic sound reminded me of The Strokes. Going into the show, I wasn't familiar with their work but was left feeling impressed. Each of their songs was more catchy than the last — giving the audience an upbeat and danceable vibe. CONTRIBUTED PHOTO Overall, if these are the bands the emo revival has to offer, I would say we are in good hands.
