I like them! They kind of have a new wave/punk sound, if I'm thinking of the right band.

I had a client that was going somewhere to see them this weekend. Sounds like it could be fun. Have a great time.

Take Me with you! I'm so jealous!

Hey cool, have fun!

They're the one that have that video (called "The Middle") where everyone at the party is in their undies, except for this one dude who feels left out.

I also like their newer singles "The Sweetness" & "Praise Chorus"

I'll let you guys know how it went.


BTW, CBRorBust, you might be able to still get a ticket at Albertson's. It's $26, at the Bronco Bowl at 8pm.

Ugh... I miss my concert buddy. I'm having serious withdrawals!

 

[Jeff in BigD]

Well, I'm back.

First off boo to Yahoo Maps as it's poor directions caused us to be half an hour late. I'd never been to this particular venue, so I had my sis ask for directions. And parking was $8. The recommended parking on one side, which would have meant about 10m minutes of walking, but I parked on the other side which meant the walk was more like 3 minutes.

The seats we got were okay. The opening act was pretty lame. Sis went to then restroom & I asked her to get a beer on the way back. She came back with two 12oz beers...which cost $8.50

We had a good view, until 3 guys got in front of us. Even when the people in front of them were sitting, they decided to stand. Not only that, but they were making fun of the other fans. Two of the guys left for the bathroom & the other guy fell asleep (HTH do you fall asleep at a rock concert?!), & I was feeling a bit quarrelsome, so I attepted to spit in one of the guys' beer. I missed, but when the guy returned, he put his arm in the spit (which I think he thought was beer), so I felt like justice had somewhat been served.

The band was awesome & although they sounded a little flat during "The Middle", it was still a cool show. We were able to leave right after the last song & took a side exit that meant we were on the main road in less than a minute with no waiting.


I think I'll have to sneak in a flask for the next concert there though.

Drag! Tell ya what, if I'm in C.FL when a decent band is playing we can go. Just don't tell M's...she gets a little feisty when other chicks move in on her turf.
