Well I'm baaacckk! Yes I've had to spend some time recovering from the stomp fest that I've been undertaking lately.
Well friday was Incubus and Saturday was Sevendust I had a great time and I have the bruises to prove it!
Incubus was awesome however their support band Modular Lounge was not. Think Lash on crack ie, an all girl group with dodgy pop/rock tunes. After many cat calls and "get off the stage u suck!" they finally ended their reign of toture and the real fun began. Incubus opened with their new hit "Megalomaniac" which sent everyone into a frenzy and most of the songs were heavy moshy stuff broken by some slower songs. DJ Kilmore was on the ball tonight and the lead singer had a go at the drums which was MMAADDD! He also brought out some congos to beat along to. Famous for his need to do a cover or too he broke out into the classic "My Girl" which we all sang along to. Some of the highlights of the show, which I was happy about, were Are You In, Consequence, The Warmth, Redefine, Certain Shade of Green, Just a Phase and Circles. The highlight of the night was Brandon picking up underwear and shoes that were thrown on stage and giving them to the guitarist "cos he likes blueberry pies" (wha?).
OKAY SEVENDUST WAS DA BOMB! I have never ever seen a band who had two AWESOME support bands. Take note YOU NEED to download Full Scale they are awesome. You should've seen the look of shock on the crowd's face when they started to play. They have a great fusion of heavy riffs, metallic rock with some rapping and screaming. Also SUNK LOTO was in da house and they rocked the roof so by the time Sevendust came out everyone was sufficiently drunk and hyped up to truly enjoy. My brother had already downed 8 beers , a viagra (vodka+redbull) and some other weird strong red concoction which was great cos he was buying me drinks too and we made heaps of mates in the mosh. That was the friendliest crowd I've hung with shout out to Kimberly, Ryan, Brad, Kate and Tanya (I think). Unfortunately Kimberly passed out before Sevendust came on and Ryan and Brad had to carry her out so I didn't get to see them after. Svendust played the good stuff I haven't got all their albums so I didn't know most of the stuff but they played Waffle, Denial, Praise and Angel's Son. Tho I wish they would've played To Close to Hate and Home. Lagen was da best and kept coming up to us seeing as we were the only black ones in the crowd. I missed out on so many pics and drumsticks they threw out (damn the shortness!). The highlight of the night was the guitarist playing Waltzing Matilda and everyone singing along which was classic!
So I'm stoked about the weekend and even more happy cos IDOL IS COMING! My posse, my crew we gotta et it together and head on down to the Convention Centre Darling Harbour on May29th & 30th. Seeya there!
