Garbage
put on a high energy show Friday night at The Pearl inside Palms Casino Resort.
Opening band Kitten set the mood for the show with an amazing set that blew
Garbage fans away, but just one step on the stage by front woman Shirley Manson
and all bets were off. Performing hits spanning the band’s career, Garbage put
on an intense set much to the joys of the passionate audience – many of whom
lined up at 8 a.m. Friday morning just to be the first group into the venue.
