Pop Punks Not Dead: Concert Review

Band: Set Your Goals, The Wonder Years, Man Overboard, This Time Next Year
Date: November 16, 2011
Location: The Regency Ballroom, San Francisco, CA

Preconceived Thoughts of the Band: 
I have been waiting for the Pop Punks Not Dead tour for months now!! This is because I've been dying over The Wonder Years. When I first heard them a couple months back, I was like WTF how have I gone without them?! They are my exact kind of musical interest. Besides The Wonder Years, I have only really really slightly listened to Man Overboard and Set Your Goals. Just to note, New Found Glory was headlining this tour, but I didn't stay to see them unfortunately :( Even though pop punk isn't dead...I have to pass all my classes ;)





What Actually Happened (BITCH SPOILER ALERT!!!) 

I actually ended up going to this show alone, which is a first for me. Before I got in to the venue, I may have had a little to drink to loosen me up a bit..Anyhow. When I got there This Time Next Year had just started to play. There was already a good circle pit going and a bunch of people in the crowd. I had never listened to them before, but apparently they are a relatively local band to the bay area, so they had a good amount of fans for the first band. They were pretty good, I enjoyed their set and their music. Next was Man Overboard. I ended up moving closer to the stage, probably about 3 rows in. I have only recently started listening to Man Overboard, and I really didn't recognize any of their songs. I really liked them though! They are definitely my type of music, so it was fun. As another note, there were a ton...ton...of attractive guys at this show. I usually dont swoon this hard, but Pop Punks Not Dead tour definitely attracted some hot guys. I was literally surrounded by them during the Man Overboard set..no complaints there. After Man Overboard finished I was eavesdropping on some of the guys around me and they were saying how Man Overboard on their albums usually didn't sound as hard as they did live. Take that as you will, I feel I would like them either way.

THE WONDER YEARS. Wow, just really, what can I say? I had been dying for this part of the show for months. When the lights dimmed, I swear there was so much energy in the room. It was exactly how I had imagined. People moving, screaming the lyrics, just really good energy. The show was so much fun. The Wonder Years seriously killed it. They put on just an amazing set. Their stage energy is spot on and the fans and the crowd just ate it up. I had so much fun. It was worth the drive and worth going by myself as well. I just seriously felt like this was the place I wanted to be. It was so much fun, I love it when other people are feeling and connecting to the music as much as I do. It was an absolutely amazing show.

After The Wonder Years, Set Your Goals played. I had moved way over to the side by the wall of the room and was watching from there. I really dont listen to Set Your Goals, but I recognized one song. Just by watching the crowd, it looked really fun. There were a lot of people in there really in to it. Once again, like other shows, it made me wish I knew their music so I could be in the crowd having fun. Set Your Goals was originally from the Bay Area, and they definitely had a lot of fans. Their stage presence was really really strong. They looked like they were having a blast on stage and it definitely pumped up the crowd.

Verdict - Absolutely amazing sets, awesome crowd. Pop Punks Not Dead Tour brought it hard this year.

Bitch Rate: 0/5...No complaints here. 

30H!3 and Hellogoodbye: Nostalgia Concert Review

Band: 3OH!3, Hellogoodbye, Down with Webster and K. Flay 
Date: November 18, 2010
Location: Slims, San Francisco, CA

Preconceived Thoughts of the Band: 
I love Hellogoodbye! I've seen them probably 7 or 8 times. They put on awesome shows! When this show came around I haaaaad to go because they had just put out their new album, Would It Kill You? And I really loved that album, so I was stoked for this show. I was also really excited to see 3OH!3, because I had been to see them live once or twice before and they have really great stage presence. I had never heard of the other 2 opening bands however. 





What Actually Happened (BITCH SPOILER ALERT!!!) 

Hey Monday, Cartel, and The Ready Set: Nostalgia Concert Review

Band: Hey Monday, Cartel, and The Ready Set
Date: November 17, 2010
Location: Great American Music Hall, San Francisco, CA

Preconceived Thoughts of the Band: 
At the time of this show, The Ready Set was still on the edge for me. I had seen them live once or twice before this show, and I wasn't really feeling them yet. It wasn't until this show that I finally enjoyed their set (even though I still laugh at Jordan's dance moves). Cartel, being an older band in comparison to the others, I hadn't really listened to that much. I knew about 4-5 songs out of their set. As for Hey Monday, I will also still warming up to their sound/liking Cassidee Pope.





What Actually Happened (BITCH SPOILER ALERT!!!) 

La Dispute, Moving Mountains and O Brother: Concert Review

Band:  La Dispute, O Brother, Moving Mountains 
Date: November 6, 2011 
Location: Ace of Spades, Sacramento, CA 

Preconceived Thoughts of the Band: 
O Brother and Moving mountains I had never heard previously to this show. As for La Dispute, I definitely consider myself a new fan of the band. I just recently got into them a few months ago, but I really like them. However, they are definitely an acquired taste. As a note, Thrice was the headlining band for this tour, but we didn't stay to see them. 




What Actually Happened (BITCH SPOILER ALERT) - 
The doors opened at 6 for the show, we showed up around 615. It was actually really packed for this show, which I had pretty much expected. We ended up just standing along the railing by the bar area looking right out to the stage. It was a pretty good place to watch. Moving Mountains played first. I had never heard them before, but by the end of their set, I was really into them. The singer had a seriously kick ass voice. I loved it. Their music was amazing too, definitely talented musicians, I was feeling them as a whole. After them was O Brother. Even after a couple beers, I wasn't really interested. Really, I was just feeling a little bit bored. I couldn't even tell how many songs they had played, it seemed like they all just ran together. However, even though I got a little bored, they were still actually pretty good. The singer had a good voice and the music was good. Maybe I just wasn't in the mood to hear that music then. La Dispute came on pretty quickly after O Brother finished. Like I mentioned, La Dispute is definitely an acquired taste. We were still standing in the bar area, but once they were a song in, I was really wishing I was in the pit. All the guys were into it and moving around. That was were I wanted to be!!! I was jealous that I didn't make my way down there. La Dispute put on a really good show. Jordan (singer), has so much energy on stage, running around with a tambourine. He got down in the crowd and was singing along with all the guys in the pit (made me want to be down there even more -_-). Since the music is so different, the guys behind us were hating on La Dispute their entire set. It got really annoying cause they literally talked the entire time and bitched about them. Anyways, they were really good and enjoyed seeing them live. It was definitely worth the $20 to see them and the two other bands. 




Verdict - Good times listening to some new music and seeing La Dispute. Only thing sucked was the bitching Thrice fans hating on La Dispute! D:

All Time Low, Yellowcard, and Hey Monday: Concert Nostalgia

Band:  All Time Low, Yellowcard, and Hey Monday--The Dirty Work Tour
Date: April 16, 2011 and May 3, 2011 
Location: The Warfield, San Francisco, CA and Best Buy Theater, New York, New York. 

Preconceived Thoughts of the Band: 
All Time low has been one of my favorites for the past 6 years or so. I really loved their first album as well as their second one, however their third and fourth one definitely took me awhile to warm up to. As for Yellowcard, I have never been that big of a fan, I really just know their singles, but I do like them. Hey Monday has a female lead singer, and since that isn't my fave, it took me awhile to warm up to them. I've seen them live a few times before this, so I finally do like them well enough and know their songs. 


What Actually Happened (BITCH SPOILER ALERT) - 
I will be reviewing both the SF show as well as the NY show since I went to both, I will specify when I am talking about each show as I write. For the SF show, we got there a little bit later, but early enough not to miss Hey Monday. It was my first time going to The Warfield. It is a pretty venue, but the pit was packed!! There was barely any room for all the people that had tickets for it. It was pretty uncomfortable. Hey Monday was the first band that we saw and they were pretty good. She was really interacting with the crowd and play alot of songs, even a mix of a few of their songs in one. I was pretty happy with their set overall. Yellowcard came on next. They actually had alot of fans there just for them. I had never really listened to them besides the singles that they have put out, but I really loved them. They put on a really good show. No complaints there. Then was All Time Low. I really cant say that I have ever been disappointed with an All Time Low show. They always have alot of energy, are constantly interacting with crowd and play a good spectrum from their first album to their newest album. 

SF Show:

The NY show was at the Best Buy Theater, which is hands down the nicest venue I have ever been to. It was gorgeous inside! I was amazed. Our attendance of the show was really last minute. We knew that they were going to be playing while we were in NY, but we were on a pretty tight budget. We ended up getting our tickets on stubhub the night before for a really decent price. Anyways, if you read my review of The Bamboozle Festival, you know my feelings on the NJ crowds. Well, NY crowds weren't much better. We made it again right when Hey Monday was about to start. Even while we were waiting for them to play, I was getting pissed off at everyone around us. I just dont know what it was. Then, once they started playing, the crowd was just really rude and annoying. I honestly feel that even Cassadee (singer of Hey Monday) was annoyed. Her set felt alot more rushed than at the SF show, and it seemed shorter too. It could have been for a totally different reason, but she even didn't interact with the crowd half as much as she did before. Probably the thing that pissed me off the most was that the crowd was so rough and annoying that we could barely be in the pit. They did something I literally had never seen at any other show I have been to before. 3 or 4 guys would get on their hands and knees on the ground, then someone would run and jump on them to crowd surf. This was the stupidest thing ever to me. I usually dont have a huge problem with crowd surfers, but this was so dangerous and ridiculously. My friend got hit really hard in the head with someones foot when they were doing that. It was so bad that we basically just moved off to the side. Usually I'm down to get pushed around and jump, but it was way too much. Maybe I'm just getting too old though...
Anyways, once again, Yellowcard really had a great set and show. They played all the same songs as in SF, but I enjoyed it all the same. 


All Time Low was really good once again. They interacted just as much with the crowd, and played the same set, but they just put on a good show. One thing that I did appreciate about this crowd was that during Alex's usual solo of "Remembering Sunday" more than half of the pit sat down and just listened. I thought that was really cute. 

NY Show:

Verdict - SF show rocked, besides a way too crowded pit, and the NYshow...well...the bands were great but I still hated the crowd.

Mayday Parade, We Are the In Crowd, You Me At Six, There For Tomorrow: Concert Review

Band:  Mayday Parade, We Are the In Crowd, You Me At Six, There For Tomorrow
Date: November 2, 2011
Location: The Regency Theater, San Francisco, CA 

Preconceived Thoughts of the Band: Starting with the headlining band, I have been a fan of Mayday Parade for years now and have seen them live multiple times, including at The Bamboozle Festival in New Jersey. As for all the other opening bands, I had never seen them live before. However, I had listened to We Are The In Crowd and You Me At Six before, and I remember not really liking them. Then again, at least specifically for We Are The In Crowd, I usually am not a big fan of chick singers. 


What Actually Happened (BITCH SPOILER ALERT) - 
We got to the venue about 45 minutes after the doors opened. We missed the first opening band, The 

Concert Review: Manchester Orchestra

Band: Manchester Orchestra 
Date: October 28, 2011
Location: The Regency Theater, San Francisco, CA 


Preconceived Thoughts of the Band: I had only recently started listening to Manchester Orchestra, but a lot of people that I have similar music taste with really love this band. From all their songs that I had heard previous to the show I really enjoyed listening to. So I knew that I would most likely love their live show. 


What Actually Happened (BITCH SPOILER ALERT) - 
There were three opening bands, Little Hurricane, The Dear Hunter and White Denim. I had actually

Nostalgia Concert Review: Jason Mraz

Band: Jason Mraz

Date: Friday, October 8, 2010

Location: Santa Barbara Bowl

Side note: Yes, like Wolf James, this is also an old concert review. There weren't any shows of interest this week, so enjoy a great concert from last year.

Preconceived thoughts of the band: Jason Mraz is one of my favorite artists/human beings in general. He has an awesome stage persona as well as an amazing presence in society. He is really inspirational for me and has a great message to send to the world. I love going to his shows, watching his videos and reading his blog. His music is so beautiful and he is such a talented musician.

What actually happened (Bitch Spoiler Alert!!):

A Playlist.

Hello!

With the risk of sounding slightly morbid, tonight I am blogging about a death playlist. Over the summer my roomate and really close friend lost her mom. Personally, I am really bad with words, advice and condolences. I felt alot of emotions when I heard the news, but putting it into words is hard for me. Music on the other hand, is not. Over the past couple months I have been compiling a play list for her. Music for me means alot, and that's the way I express my emotions, whether happy, frustrated, angry or depressed, listening to a certain song means much more to me than many things. I had initially just sent my friend one song, and by her reaction I knew she knew that this song was what I was trying to say but couldn't. That song is track one of the playlist. The rest of the playlist are songs she will be receiving soon. I hope this playlist can help anyone out there who is coping with a loss.

The Bamboozle Festival 2011 Review and Tips

Hello all!

One of the biggest festivals I have ever attended was The Bamboozle Festival. For the 2012 year, this will be Bamboozle's 10th anniversary. This festival is located in East Rutherford, New Jersey at the Meadowlands Stadium. This past year (2011) was my first year attending the festival. Coming all the way from California, it was a big trip (as well as slightly expensive) to make. This blog post will talk about my experience at Bamboozle, as well as some tips for people coming from places other than Jersey.

My friend and I didn't start planning our trip out to Bamboozle until about 3 months before, in January. The festival was scheduled for April 29-May 1. Once we decided to go to the festival, it was necessary to save up money.

Things that needed to be purchased/planned beforehand:

Blink-182, My Chemical Romance and Matt and Kim: Concert Review and Photos

Band: Blink 182, My Chemical Romance Opener: Matt and Kim
Date: October 2, 2011
Location: Sleep Train Amphitheater, Wheatland, CA

Preface:

Noely and I attended the same show, but we definitely both have different views of the show, being different levels of a "fan" so to speak. Enjoy :)

Preconceived Thoughts of the Band -

For Matt and Kim:

I had previously never heard any of their music before the show. I have some friends who absolutely love Matt and Kim, and those friends and I have pretty similar music taste. Going into their set, I expected to enjoy them, just based on my similar music taste with other fans.

My Chemical Romance:

I have been an on again off again fan of MCR for about 8 years. Back in middle school, my younger brother was obsessed with this band so I have been exposed to their music for quite some time. However, over the years their sound has definitely changed, and for me, it wasn't necessarily for the better. I loved their first two albums, but their last two I never really got in to. I had seen MCR live about 5 years ago, so going in to this show, I wasn't sure what to expect, since they are an aging band with a new sound.

Blink-182:

Much like the Brand New show, I was unsure how this show was going to play out. Since Blink is definitely an aging band, I have heard that seeing them now is not as good as seeing them, say, 6 or 7 years ago. While this can go for any band, I had heard bad things about this fact in regards to Blink. However, since I had never seen them live before, I had to go to experience them at least once, and I kept in mind the fact that they may not sound as good as they once did.

What Actually Happened (BITCH SPOILER ALERT) -

Recommendation for the Yellowcard Show

This month there are going to be quite a few shows that are tempting to go to. However, with a small pocketbook and increasing ticketmaster convenience charges, going to all the amazing shows that are coming up is not possible. Since the Yellowcard/Every Avenue, nevershoutnever, and Skrillex concert are all around the same date, I would recommend you attend the Yellowcard/Every Avenue show.

Yellowcard

Yellowcard is a pop punk band from Florida that formed in 1997. One of the unique features of this band is the fact that they use violin, which is unusual for this genre. The band released three records before going on a two-year hiatus and then releasing their most current album. Yellowcard has been on tour with reputable bands, such as All Time Low and Linkin Park. Every Avenue is a pop punk band from Michigan that formed in 2003. They have released 4 full lengths albums and 3 EP’s. They have toured with All Time Low, Mayday Parade, Boys Like Girls and The Maine. Both Yellowcard and Every Avenue have played at Warped Tour. These bands playing together would be a very strong and well-played show. This show would cost you $22.

nevershoutnever

nevershoutnever is a pop punk band from Joplin, Missouri. The front of the band, Christofer Drew began making music in 2005. The band has 6 EP’s and 2 full-length albums. While they have quite a large fan base due to Drew’s good looks and nomination as PETA’s sexiest vegetarian, he has often played and come to his shows drunk and high, which other fans, concert attendees and I find disrespectful to his audience. He also has a bad reputation for being mean and rude to fans when they approach him before and after shows. This show would cost you $27.

Skrillex

Skrillex, also known as Sonny Moore is producer from Los Angeles. He was once the front man for the band From First To Last, but now is known as Skillex and plays electro house music. He has grown quite popular in this music scene. However, when weighing the pros and cons between all of these shows, this show is the most expensive. While it may be fun, it is not exactly the type of music that this company is known for writing about nor is it worth the price of two other concerts that we can attend. Another negative about this show is that it is sold out on ticketmaster, so tickets would have to be purchased via stubhub, and currently the tickets listed are double the original asking price. This show would cost you $88.

Yes on Yellowcard

While all of these shows would offer a good experience, the Yellowcard/Every Avenue show would be the best and most tried and true for your money concert. Seeing the nevershoutnever concert would be fun because of the natural, good spirited music of Christofer Drew, but his poor attitude and usually inebriated self is definitely less attractive to the audience. Skrillex would bring to the table a dancing filled night, but the price is not worth drive into the city.

Brand New: Review

Band: Brand New
Date: September 9, 2011
Location: Senator Theater, Chico, CA











Preconceived Thoughts of the Band -

Brand New is my all time favorite band, but this was my first time seeing them live. Before going to the show, I had heard mixed reviews from other fans about their live shows. Some things that I had heard was that their live performance were not nearly as good as their recorded albums. I heard that usually the band was off and Jesse (the lead singer) didn't always sound good. I really wasn't sure what to expect, but since they are my favorite band and I had never seen them before, I would decide then. One thing I was concerned about before the show was the fans though. When you are a Brand New fan...you are a BRAND NEW FAN. You live, breathe and exist in the realms of their music. I'm not going to lie, I am definitely one of those kinds of fans, however, I have proper concert etiquette, something that a lot of other concerts goers dont necessarily have.

Hey All!

Royal BITCH

Hello Critics of the Internet World,

This is Lauretta, but on the interwebz I am better known as Relic. I have come to blogger to blog about my one true love, concerts. More precisely, my Brainy Intelligent Thoughts on Concert Habits (BITCH). So, maybe you've never been to a concert, maybe one or two, or like me, 100's over the past years. You found yourself here to see what I have to say about bands in the indie, alternative rock and rock genres of music. Over the next months I plan on attending a large number of concerts of the aforementioned genres and blogging about my experience at these shows. If you have been to a show before, you know that not all experiences at shows are pleasant; whether that is due to the all too plenty concert assholes pushing you around or a shitty show by the band you were super excited to see.

Throughout the years I have been to tons of great, kick ass shows, but there are still things that are easy for me to bitch about. It could be because I am naturally just a bitter bitch in general, but most of my thoughts and ideas are still legitimate concerns. Here you will read my thoughts, both good and bad, of the shows I will be attending in the upcoming months, as well as a few noteworthy ones from my past. I love getting to know all the readers, so feel free to bitch back if you agree or disagree with me :)
