Cardiknox - Firefly 2015

Festival Plan: I should see Cardiknox if it's convenient.

*20191026: Likely a result of the duo's breakup in 2018, the website http://www.cardiknox.com/ is currently not in operation.
**I created the blank setlist on 20150730 hoping to add some songs, but I couldn't figure any of them out from the notes I took.
***20191026: I updated the setlist with the five songs below.


Pre-Festival Thoughts:
With only four (solid) songs available across all media outlets (Spotify, iTunes, Soundcloud, etc.), it was clear to me that Cardiknox had music I liked, but not enough material to build a strong desire to see them perform unless convenient.


Overall, I assigned the group a 6 out of 10 for music and a 4.5 out of 10 for my desire to see them (the averages were 5.6 and 5.4, respectively).

Excellent*: 'Technicolor Dreaming' [2+]
Above Average: 'Waste Youth'


Slightly Above Average: 'Hold Me Down', 'Black Wayfarers'
On The Fence: ~
*Songs with 2 or more '+'s are considered 'Excellent'. The number of '+'s are found in brackets.



Setlist:
?+0) -- as I was approaching: "I'm running into the night" [20191026: "Into the Night"]
?+1) "Bloodlust" [20191026: "Bloodlust"]
?+2) "Tongue-tied twisted... Come a little closer... Neon lights" [20191026: "Perfect Storm"]


?+3) "On my way" [20191026: "On My Way"]
?+4) "I'm coming for you" [20191026: "Earthquake"]

Post-Festival Thoughts:
Listening to Cardiknox was a great way to start off the last day of the festival.


With that being said, they still only have four tracks out there and I hope that number grows.
