The Verve Pipe At The Vogue in Indianapolis, IN

By: Vincent Renn

The Vogue Indianapolis filled up early tonight with a houseful of The Verve Pipe and Our Lady Peace fans. Usually an opening act doesn’t garner the excitement the headliner does. Then the lights dropped, and The Verve Pipe took to the stage opening up excitedly and passionately with Myself and Cup of Tea. From the start they had the audiences attention as everybody sang along with every lyric as if they were the songs themselves. As their unfortunately shorter set came to an end, their early 90’s hit The Freshman started acoustically. Wiping a tear from my eye, our singalong came to an end and Brian Vander Ark started reminiscing down the 90’s lane taking us to their rendition of Soundgardens’ “Black Hole Sun”. As the song came to an end, it was unfortunately revealed that Raine Maida was unable to perform due to illness. Our Lady Peace rescheduled their show for a later date.
