Be the Change

Oh, and photos!

In addition to my previous blog, I'd like to share some photos from Saturday's show. If you're not interested in seeing half-naked, hot rockstar boys (and why wouldn't you be???), you can scroll down to the last photo to see my sister and I in our Halloween costumes! (These are from my photo album - "Invalid Item" )

Kinsey has this college rock vibe to them, similar to perhaps Weezer (back in the day) or even Harvey Danger. They're extremely talented, and I really love their music.

The big thing about LOA is that their songs tell stories. The new one, Annabelle, is about a woman who died prematurely and was buried in her wedding dress. Like their others, it's a great song that instantly sticks in your head.

I don't know exactly how to describe this band. They've got a classic rock feel, yet they have a definite modern quality to them, too. I like them more and more every time I see them perform.

I absolutely love Nimbus. They're my new favorite band. I find myself comparing all my favorites to Muse, and these guys fit in that category, too, though their recorded music does sound more "mainstream rock." Their live performances, though, are incredible, filled with passion and heart.

I think it's obvious how I feel about this band, too. The music on their album is sort of radio-friendly, happy rock. Their newer material is faster, harder, and mostly about drugs and other bad things. I love it!


And finally - Hope and Despair!
