We’ve been proudly following the musical adventures of the band H.I.M. since their first US tour back in 2004 and we’re always glad to catch them in concert when they come to visit New York. This time around the band would be supporting their latest and greatest release entitled “Venus Doom” and the show would be at the Nokia Theatre in the heart of Times Square.

When I think back upon the last few years in terms of all the band’s that I have been able to see when they come to the United States, I have to smile when I think of just how much I have enjoyed having HIM be one of the groups that I have watched from their very first visit to our region. I continued this support of their efforts as they reached for bigger and brighter heights with each go round and have found myself impressed each and every time. My own interest in HIM began in 2003 even though they had been around a little bit longer, and when they first came to the USA in 2004 for shows in NYC at The Bowery Ballroom I knew that we music fans were finally getting a special treat. It’s been interesting watching the band rise in popularity and seeing them sell out two nights in a row in the Big Apple with each go round and while last time they played the Hammerstein Ballroom, this evening would be the first of two sold out shows at the Nokia Theatre. I’ve been to this space a few times since they began holding Metal and Rock shows here and I felt this was the perfect setting for the way Ville Vallo and his friends do their thing. They would have Bleeding Through as their sole opener but we would bypass them and enjoy some of the holiday air of the Big Apple. Tonight was all about HIM for me, and no opening band was going to keep my interest no matter how hard they tried.
