... I don’t think me ears have rang after a show this badly in years.
The crowds yelling screaming and what not... made my hearing nearly distorted.
Went to Slims tonight con mi amiga Daniela. Panda played Oakland metro and push to talk / audrye sessions played bottom of the hill tonight as well. Sadly I couldn't be in more than one place at once... so The Actual, Street To Nowhere, The New Amsterdams, and State Radio it was.
The Actual is really growing on me. Max's voice (lead vox) is really appealing.. But ya.. I’ve been diggin' their sound... and people should check 'em out. They got major amounts of shows coming up. Check their myspace for dates.
I don’t know how long its been since I’ve seen Street To Nowhere... I think like... 3 months+. It was awesome... The crowd response has grown noticeably. It was pretty cool to experience The
New Amsterdams... hmmmmm... not quite the sound I’m into but I dig 'em. I really do like the use of the upright bass.
So uhm... State Radio... I can dig it. You should dig it. Then we all can dig it. Heh.. anyways.... If you get a chance to see 'em DO IT. They got an awesome sound, style, and what not..
During that set a fight broke out behind me... that was... interesting...
also... my friends camera died around the middle of the new amsterdam's set and then my memory card on my camera ran out of space.. it was like attack of the cameras. so that’s why there aren’t many pictures from the State Radio set. which really sucks.. ‘cause if I could have.. I woulda filmed the whole set. State Radio + live = grand.
so.. something proven to keep you occupied while in between sets... have a battle. Who can come up with the most words starting with an uncommon letter... like w or y. interesting times...
pictures and videos should be up in the next few days... check the links. also. there will be a new link on the sidebar to my friend Daniela's photos. check those out... her camera and the quality are better than mine
So I’ve mentioned before about how a show can be completely different from different spots in the venue. The first time seeing a band I fully support watching them from a further distance rather than right against the stage.. you get a better feel for the band.. but tonight my theory was proven wrong.. dun dun dunnnnnn… I was watching The New Amsterdams and I was down with them, but I think I woulda gotten more out of the set if I was further back.. which supports my thoughts. Then State Radio came on... and I haven’t seen them before, yet I was perfectly content being up close… maybe it all depends on the genre of the music..
okay.. its 2 am.. and I’m sitting on my computer… watching boy meets world.. alone… LAME..
Well that’s all for now I guess…
Quick question (I happen to be watching the Disney channel right now.. don’t ask and some music video thing came on..) who of you have ever heard of Everlife?
