5 days of bands

im in the mood for sharing

anyway

on saturday night i went and saw fall out boy with all american rejects and hey monday. im not really the biggest fan of any of those bands, just scored the ticket because my friend's fiance couldnt make it. but suprisingly all the bands were entertaining and fall out boy had fireworks

next up. on sunday i went to this festival called soundwave. my day consisted of seeing these bands in order:

less than jake – played pretty decent, more of a punk set rather than a ska set

goldfinger – played alright. could of been better. but was a decent mix of stuff with fuck all off their shit albums

unearth – watched like 3 songs than left. fucking terrible. my mate said they were fun live. but fuck them

attack in black – they were alright. i had never heard them and had heard good things

hellogoodbye – i was watching from the drinking area. but they were decent

dillinger escape plan – im not the biggest fan, but they were pretty decent live. very talented

bloodhound gang – fun as. they had the whole crowd in the palm of their hand. played a decent mix

new found glory – basically avoided playing anything off coming home which is a very good thing. was a bit dissapointed they didnt play anything off tip of the iceberg. but i was pleased later on anyway

alkaline trio – played like 1 song off agony and irony and like 1 from crimson, rest was all older stuff which was awesome

bedouin soundclash – fucking brilliant

international superheroes of hardcore – so this is new found glory but with the guitarist singing and the singer playing guitar. playing good hardcore. halfway through the set they swapped over again and played tip of the iceberg songs. so good

and that was my sunday.

next up

monday. i went and saw bloodhound gang with less than jake and interpartysystem

we got there halfway through interpartysystem. they were alright, i only knew one song by them, and they played it at the end luckily

next up was less than jake. they played a punk set again. but fun as usual

next was bloodhound gang. great again, but better. the bassist beer bonged a whole bottle of jagermeister. and they had a projection screen behind them with filthy and funny pictures relating back to the songs. they seemed very upto date with aussie current affairs too

next night i went and saw new found glory with hellogoodbye and ace enders and some other band

we got there just before hellogoodbye came on. they played great

next up was new found glory. i had alot of fun. i did nearly get into a fight with some guy in a basketball jersey though…

now lastnight. i went to see goldfinger with valencia and riverboat gamblers. when i got there. i found out mike herrera from mxpx was doing his solo stuff aswell. i got pretty excited. anyway i got pretty drunk too. i ended up meeting mike herrera. he was so nice.

anyway mike herrera played pretty well. i dont really like his tumbledown stuff though.

riverboat gamblers were heaps good too. i was outside during valencia

goldfinger played the best ive seen them. good setlist and such. i even got up on stage during mable. darren had the usual twinky arse eating thing. but he also drank a beer from someones shoe.

also the crowd was so good. no arseholes at all

and now today im buggered
