I have to say in defense of both openers that you don't see many women rockin electronics that often on stage, while singing beautifully I might add. Perhaps Bjork, Imogen Heap come to mind. But both Beehive and Long Ranger did that exceptionally.

The Long Ranger harmonies were tight and the lead singer was fun to watch. He danced for everybody.

I liked Beehive a lot. They were, dare I say, emotional electronica. I was impressed.

It was amazing for me to see how different forms of music could come out of similiar equipment. Both great and enjoyable. But yet the dancefloor was empty and everyone was at the bar for both bands.

Nobody danced for Beehive or The Long Ranger. Which was sad to see because they were both great bands.

However I am one of those people who are not really on a soapbox but will speak my mind. I have to say that as a life long resident of Seattle not many people dance here. I am sure this city is one of the hardest crowds to win over. People dance for bands when there are big crowds only. Nobody wants to dance for an opener because who wants to look "unhip here". Especially when the band is doing something different from the closer.

Plus I don't really like to dance. But I like music, and I like music best with a beer in hand while enjoying it with my lovely lady.

So I don't dance but I liked the bands. So call me what you will. I just call it as I see it.
