Do you realize it's been nearly twenty-five years since Garbage released their debut album? On Wednesday evening, Shirley Manson, Butch Vig, Eric Avery, Duke Erikson, and Steve Marker brought their quarter of a century's collection of hits to a packed Fillmore Charlotte.

After a short set from opener Ioanna Gika, Garbage hit the stage around 9:00 PM and the band launched into "Control" from 2012's Not Your Kind Of People. It was immediately evident this was going to be a great show.

Along the way, they played their hits like "Stupid Girl," "#1 Crush," "I Think I'm Paranoid," "Push It," and "Only Happy When It Ways," along with deeper cuts. The band sounded amazing. Manson sounded as great as ever. The band seemed genuinely psyched to be there and loved the crowd's fervor. It was an amazing concert that was capped off by our personal favorite Garbage song, "When I Grow Up."
