H.I.M brought their 2014 US Tour to San Francisco with a Sunday night show at the historic Fillmore. Neither the early morning Daylight Savings time change nor the prospect of work the next day seemed to stop the faithful HIMsters from lining up early to stake their ground up front on the barricade.
After a widely-cheered opening set by Anathema (who I’m sure can’t wait to return to San Francisco), the energy in the room was palpable and when H.I.M took the stage a smidgen past 9 pm, the faithful erupted. Clearly appreciative of the response, frontman Ville Vole’s face was locked in a perma-grin as he belted out song after song. Not that they needed the help, but the crowd sang along to each and every word of the 80-ish minute set that kept the entire place riveted to the floor and literally left women weeping.
