crash your cool cars kid! watch the citizens all gather around
Hello all. I now have 3 (it should have been 4 grrr!) new bands to add to my "Bands I've seen, that are worth writing down" list.Today Salona, Polly, Amy, Isabel, Lucy, Lauren, Kate and Nick headed into the city to go see:
But we didn't end up seeing theredsunband because we were too late and the line was massive. I think we got in like maybe a few minutes after they finished. But this is a touchy subject so don't bring it up with anyone, just in case.
We got in at ummm... 2.30, we had been waiting in the line for almost an hour. Ugh. We had no idea what band was on first so "we" were all fretting about what band we were going to miss as we all had our favourites. I was sooo happy that the Panda Band were last out of the supporting bands. I love them. Ahh yes.
But anyway, from the beginning. We got there at 1.30, but it was supposed to start at 1.00 so we were a bit late, not that it really mattered because they didn't start letting people in until about 1.45ish. We were all pretty bored, I managed to make a fool of myself many times, like the time the guy came and asked me what the massive line was for. "ahhh, ahhh, ummm... ahhh..."
We went and got food and stuff. it was happy. well, until we found out that we missed the redsunband. I didn't really mind because they were my least favourite out of the lot.
Then we got in, and we pushed out way to the mid-front/side and stood there for a while watching the Vasco Era. Then Polly, Kate, Salona and I went to the front of the stage so Polly could get some photos for her art book.
The Vasco Era rocked. They were very very good. Before I recommended them to Salona, and I think now they have a new obsessed fan. haha. The bassist was damn fine! and he had a 5-stringed bass. I thought they only came in 4 and 6, obviously not. Did anyone else see that Dann from Evermore was doing back-up drumming behind the scenes?
Salona and I tried to move closer to Polly and Kate but the stupid Christina Aguilera girl and her bimbo friend wouldn't let us move. when we eventually bashed through she kept on making me move because I was too tall. It's her problem shes a ghey little 13 year old thats too short and can't see the stage. She was even a step above me! But i think her hair made her look taller, i felt sorry for the people behind her, they wouldn't have been able to see over her hair.
here is what she looked like. but she was younger, and didn't have the braids. same hair colour and style though. And she was like 13, but had about the same amount of make-up on as the real christina in this photo.
Stupid little girl.
Anyway, We finally got a good position, and finally the Panda Band came on. Ahhh, I was happy. They didn't play Mohawk, sadness, but they did play Eyelashes (I think) and Sleepy Little Deathtoll Town. YEY! The lead guy, Damian (I think - according to Beat magazine) was very very attractive. As in, my god, he was beautiful. But Salona and Kate liked the guitarist/shaker guy. And Noni even got a photo with him afterwards. I'll post it here when I can.
Then after much waiting, we heard the screams of hundreds of children when Evermore decided to grace the stage (right on time too! The hi-fi bar is so punctual!) They opened with "for one day" and closed with something I don't know. which i thought was a bit random, i was expecting them to encore with come to nothing, but they played that near the start. odd.
But they were very good. Those brothers amaze me. Dann, the youngest is just such a sweety, and he goes nuts on the drums, he has awesome rhythm. And Jon, ahhh, where would Evermore be without him? Good guy. Kinda quiet. When we met them a while back he barely said anything. And Peter. Oh my. What a guy! Seriously, I love him and his talents sooo much. And his looks! Oh my. And he is the nicest guy! (and he likes my jacket!)
We were all standing to the side of the "mosh" (of like 10 year old children? what the crack?) to the right side at the front of the stage, so we were directly below Peter and his very pretty keys. Man, like i just said to amy... v.embarrassing... "man, it was so embarrassing. i got kinda carried away in the music, (which i do sometimes) so my eyes just shut. i dont know why. but when i realised i opened them and he was staring right at me and im like AH!"
So yeah, then we hung around a bit at the stage just getting over it when I noticed Salonas fav guy from the Panda band on the steps (possibly with one of the girls from theredsunband and some other random) so she got her photo with him. Then we went to the merch table and I bought a Panda Band T-shirt, and isabel got a theredsunband t-shirt. and others just got stickers and badges. they made quite a profit out of us i think.
And that was it. We all trained home together and yeah. 'Twas a plesant arvo!
