This concert was pretty sick...lineup was Five for Fighting, Daughtry, KT Tunstall, Smashmouth, Goo Goo Dolls, Barenaked Ladies, and Guster. We had a fun time, the two or three rows of people that I was with ended up going down near the floor (I wish we had gone all the way up to the stage) and went pretty much crazy, there was a lot of drunk people around us, lot of spillt beer, and what smelled like pot...anyways...
Concert was good, starting bands weren't amazing and it was way too quiet in the beginning. When Smashmouth was up it was just like a wall of distortion with Steve Harwell's voice kinda drifting in and out. After that the sound was good and the bands were great. Daughtry and Guster rocked, Five for Fighting was a good chillax break from the rock then BNL went up followed by GGD and the concert ended with a bang. Over all it was a fun time, plenty of Facebook picks from my friends too, I'll put some of them up perhaps.

Suave and the Normies
Well my band, SatN(Suave and the Normies), got together finally this weekend. We played some nice tunes...RHCP stuff...i busted out the brushes for some Chasing Cars and How to Save a Life (for those of you who don't know I'm a drummer). We also worked on a jam we've been piecing together. I hope it turns into something good...with a little more structure it could be an excellent song. It starts out slow and it kinda fades off into a pause...I click off and go into some sweet rhythms alongside the bass and the guitars slowly add in. Its hard to think of the basic melody...kinda shifts around a bit...I just try to follow along. I don't have a double bass but I was trying some quick, repetitive hits which was SICK but painful as hell on the ankles and legs. Anyways, we sounded pretty good in general...need to put together some actual tunes though.
I also finally ordered my bass...they were out of metallic red so I was stuck with the blue but it still looks pretty nice...I've already gotten the amp but the guitar should come by Christmas.
Pumped for the concert at the Civic Center on Tuesday...should be pretty sick, Goo Goo Dolls and some other good stuff is playing. Not all my favorites but still, worth going.
