Lazy review

It was a hot August 14th, 2010...but it was a fucking good one.

Kadawatha. I had no idea who this band was. (Apparently they're from Sweden.) I would definitely look into them. At least, I will when I stop being lazy. They were pretty elecric. You could tell that they loved what they were doing, and they really appreciated the fans that were there to see them. So that was cool. They had some sweet moves too. Like, coreographed. During the last song, they were laying down and playing. That's awesome. They had on little uniforms too. Like, the guitarist that was in front of me had red designs on his shirt and red shoes. The drummer had purple designs and purple shows. And so on. It was sweet.

New Found Glory. You know, you'd think I'd know more of these guys. I don't. But they were damn good. Emily got all their autographs too. So that's sweet. They put on a really energetic, crowd involving show. They even pulled two kids on stage and played a request song. Like, let the kids play the song with them and they sang it. That was super awesome. Mad props to them for doing that. I creeped Hayley on the side of the stage. She was starin' at Chad so hard I thought he'd burst into flame.

Tegan and Sara. I...don't really care for their music. I just don't. I mean, it's not bad. I just don't like it. I tried some time ago, but just couldn't get into it. They were adorable though, they had that going.

Paramore. The moment I was waiting for. At this point, I was drenched in sweat (well, I was after Kadawatha, it was hot out.) I was also about 10 feet from the stage. So that's really exciting. When the announcer said that Paramore was coming out, a large black curtian fell down over the stage. The band came out and played some opening riffs while lights silohetted (I can't spell that shut up) the band. Then they broke into Ignorance and it was awesomely amazing for the next hour and a half. Hayley and Josh did an acoustic version of "You Ain't Woman Enough (To Take My Man.) Hayley does country pretty good. Did I mention that Josh was set up on the right hand side of the stage? My left hand side? The side I was on?



Unless, of course, you count the drunk prick that was ruining the show for everyone around me. Look, I want to be near the stage too. Who doesn't want to be near the stage at a concert? But knocking people over, having a general disregard for anyone else there and, to top it off, spinning your girlfriend around in the crowd? You're an asshole. So much so, that I wanted to leave. I wasn't having fun anymore...then I found a security guard. Let's just say that the people that I was standing by for most of the night probably enjoyed the show a lot more from then on out.

All in all, it was an amazing, amazing show. I got two shirts. Because I'm a Para-lady-of-the-night. Unfortunately, after the HCT, they're off the Europe...but I fulling plan on seeing Paramore again. And again. And again.
