The reviews on Kill Hannah is that they were not only great on album, but great for a live show as well. Currently set as the first act opening up for Papa Roach, the band only got to play 7 songs in 30 minutes, but I loved what I saw.

With the lights out, the guys started playing the intro track from Until There's Nothing Left Of Us, "(Life In the Arctic)" with the only lights on stage being the white lights on the guitars and green beams of light coming off the end of the guitars. Then lead singer Mat Devine ran onto stage and the band broke into "Believer" and got the crowd really going. The band followed with their hit single "Lips Like Morphine", which parts of the crowd sang along with.

There were definitely a couple other highlights of the Kill Hannah set. Devine dedicated "Love You To Death" to all the Kill Hannah fans with t-shirts in the crowd. Then later on, a couple dancers were brought up on stage to dance with guitarist Dan Wiese while he was performing.

My only complaint was that Kill Hannah opened the night and played 30 minutes. It Dies Today, which followed, played 45 minutes. At the end of the night with Jacoby Shaddix from Papa Roach was listing off the opening bands to give thanks, Kill Hannah received a louder ovation. That and also the fact that the band didn't play the song "Crazy Angel", but I am assuming that was due to time constraints and having an abbreviated set list. That being said, I am definitely looking forward to checking out a headlining Kill Hannah show and I recommend you do the same!
