Promotions!

michael franti and spearhead are pretty much killing it!! The crowd is a bit sparse for a john mayer concert if I do say so myself, but the fans are great. Pictures later tonight or tomorrow of the promos and stuff!!

John Mayer concert tonight! I don’t think a review will really be necessary. BUT I will probably post some pics from the concert and the promo that I do! Check back!

OK. so, I will just warn you now… that im going to keep it sweet and short because if I elaborate I will probably say mean and nasty things. So lets keep it positive.

Well, to start off I suck and I got there late (FU MILWAUKEE PARKING). I missed Spin Cycle so sorry guys, can’t really say anything but maybe see ya next time? But that probably won’t be the case if they ever tour with these bands again. Next up was Queens Club. Not the most catchy name but I will give them the credit of being better than the shit I heard later in the night. (woops, starting to get mean). Now, on to the band that is actually WORTH reviewing. Lets Get It was great. You know you’re a dedicated member (Tyler on Guitar and Vox) when you basically get thrown into the crowd and get right back up and keep singing (not before double checking that the little girls in the front row weren’t dead). The right decision for whoever put this tour together would have been to just say “fuck it, Lets Get It is going to be the headliner, they are better than Breathe Carolina anyways.” So a big high five out to the boys of Lets Get It, great show. I think, to keep me from going insane I am going to opt out of talking about The Hyper Crush. Too much shit to talk. I will say one thing, you’ll never be in the same category as 3Oh!3, so stop trying to be like them. On to Breathe Carolina. to start off, it definitely sucks that they aren’t as good live as they are recorded. thats an epic fail on their part. I will say that they know how to get the crowd going and I don’t think they will be falling from the lime light just yet. BUT they need to work on there live show. To wrap this whole thing up I will just say that I will never pay $14.78( yeah thats the random price of the ticket) to see any of these bands ever again. Except for Let’s Get It.

I will have a review about this show up tomorrow at the latest… From the looks of it…it won’t be the best  of reviews hahah. But I’m sure breathe carolina and lets get it will rock it so I’m not too worried


check back soon!

I’ll be doing reviews for every show from here on out so here it is. This ones a bit shorter because I entered it in a contest for AP Magazine. Have at it!

Recently coming through the Midwest was The Revolutions and Resolutions Tour. This show was a definite [5/5]. Kicking off the night at The Subterranean in Chicago, Illinois was The Right Coast, an up and coming band from Lancaster, PA. To anyone’s surprise, they are still unsigned, but not for long. Brandon (Vocals), Curran (Drums), Eric (Bass), and John (Guitar) are just beginning to show what they are really made of. With plans to lock themselves away for a solid week to write after this tour ends, you can expect to see them back in full force for the rest of 2010. Second on the line up was Sparks The Recue, signed to Fearless Records. These guys definitely know how to put on a great show. They connect to their audience no matter how big or small. At one point, Alex, the lead vocalist got so into his performance he even fell backwards, but still managed to belt out the lyrics just as well. You can expect to see them on more and more upcoming tours and quite possibly as a headliner sooner than later. Next to perform was The Dangerous Summer who is currently signed with Hopeless Records. If there were an award for best in show, the members of TDS would win, hands down. Talking with AJ after his set, I asked how this tour was going for him so far. His answer, “I’m living the dream.” The boys have not announced anything for the upcoming months yet, but knowing them, they probably have something up their sleeve that will surprise everyone. Rounding out the night was The Audition. With a couple of headliners under their belts, they really know how to finish out a show. Needless to say, the bands on this tour really complimented each other and brought something different and exciting to the stage with every set change.

Only two months into the new year and I can already tell that this year is it. I have so many different things that i’m embarking on and I can’t wait to share it with all of you!!! I’ve got shows lined up to promote all spring long and will still be doing more as the days go by. Hope you all stay in touch because you will be seeing some great stuff over the next few months. And this summer, I can’t even begin to explain. It is going to be great. Tampa here I come.

Stay connected and check back for more shtuff!!
