The early-to-mid 90s were a hell of a time. Thanks to Lollapalooza and the rise of Industrial (NIN) and Industrial Metal bands (Ministry), there was a sudden influx of similar acts that appeared on the scene, such as Stabbing Westward. I remember first hearing them in college and liked them enough to be excited to hear that they would be opening for Depeche Mode on their 1994 tour. Then in 1996 Wither Blister Burn + Peel came out. With tracks like "Shame" and "What Do I Have to Do" Stabbing Westward vaulted into the limelight. As such, I saw them again in 1998, and again, opening for Depeche Mode during The Singles tour. More often than not I skip the opening act, unless they are someone I already know or scoped out ahead of time, but Stabbing Westward was a band that I happily showed up to see. Despite seeing them twice open for my favorite band of all time, I have never seen Stabbing Westward on tour in their own right. That is, until tonight. They're playin...
