mother and i managed of course to get lost on the way to the norva but that isn't the main issue here, i mean really norfolk is a confusing place with all the road construction and stuff. SOOO, we got there and O Brother started up the line up, and they, as in the main singer and the tambourine player, were sooo cute and precious. The singer looked exactly like David... well if David wore skinny jeans... but he had him to a T with the boring generic gray shirt! :D He had the sweetest voice when he talked, but when he sung, oh the angst and deep throatal screaming. And then like half the band had longer hair than i did there was a mexican and an asian and they always had their heads down so it looked like the Ring... and then they would all durn to face the drummer when they would play like they were paying homage to him. haha (:
i don't t=know the name of the second band but I do know that they were angsty, they were british, and they were shirtless. haha, the ginger was sooo pale. (: they were kind of mean, but they were irish so i guess that makes it all right?
And then the features came out <33 oh happy day. they are so amazing live. My mom was getting tired of the angst and they came out in collared shirts and plaid and I was like mother they can't be angsty they're wearing plaid. (: They sang Lions and my mom was so excited she knew a song. Oh my mother.
Last act was manchester Orchestra and they were SUPERAWESOMELYAMZINGSPECTACULAR! They started out with a depressing song, but transferred quite well to mean everything to nothing and then after a few songs they'd switch to like a virgin losing a child. It was amazing, they played shake it out and the entire crowd was shaking and nead nodding and oh it was amazing. and then right after that they played THE RIVER ahh favorite song. I was worried since they hadn't played it that they might not but they did and it was amazing and i recorded the "oh god i need it, for i was wrong again, take me to the river and make me clean again oh my god, make me clean again" part for steelio and coggs. I doubt they'll understand the recording but hopefully they can make it out. It was just amazing and then they played like, how to describe this, a hardcore acoustic version of the only one, and it was amazing. when they were drinking some guy asked how they were and he was like good so in the song instead of the oringinal version he sang "I am the only one that thinks i'm going crazy to answer that question dude" i was like :D lol. and he put in little extra parts and it was amazing. and I'm not even sure how many times I have said amazing by now but that is like the only word my small vocabulary can fill in to describe how truly fantastic last night really was. And tey played a brand new song that they were going to record over the summer. I loved the opening line " I was born an April Fool" aghh, genius. (:
So mom and I are heading down to Portsmouth/Virginia Beach to meet my dad for lunch and galavant throughout the town. We might go to the aquarium which i am soo excited for. I hope they have octopi and turtles!
:D
so on OBrother's myspace it says that the unnamed, foreign, shirtless, angsty band is called Biffy Clyro. weird name. eh? none of these bands sound as angsty we=hen they record. i feel so lied to.-__- haha. so time to get dressed, laterr.
