I'm going to a concert tonight to see these guys. They are considered a "alternative pop rock" or "punk revival" and for a change I will not be one of the YOUNGER people at this show as most of the concerts I've been attending lately (Judas Priest, Kiss, Cheap Trick, etc.) have fans in atendance that are my age (44) or older. :0
These guys are out of the Boston area and have only been around since the late 1990's. They got very popular when they went on tour with the Mighty Mighty Bosstones in 1997 warming up for them on their tour that year. I only started listening to their music about two months ago and I really like their material :thumbs:
The venue is a small club in Northhampton, MA and fortunately I bought tickets well ahead of time since this show is sold out as have just about all their shows on this tour. This is their last date in the USA before they start a tour in Europe.
They are also known for their song "Tessie" (which is NOT on tomorrow's set list) which is a tribute to the Boston Red Sox and their fans. They WILL be playing their tribute to the Boston Bruins, a song called "Time To Go" which is even better than "Tessie" :thumbs:
Since I'm a new fan, I really only know their newer music AND I found out today that they will do 9 of 14 songs from their latest CD "Warrior's Code" which was released this year. Most of these songs will be in the beginning of the set :0 :thumbs: They will open the show with a song called "Spirit's Alive" which is a tribute to a Boston University hockey player (Mark Bavis) and a former Boston Bruins player (Garnet "Ace" Bailey) who were killed in the Flight 175 plane crash on 9/11.
I've been sick as hell for the last week or so BUT I think whatever it is that I have (Dr. told me it's a virus) is finally breaking so I won't be too miserable for the show. I've been looking forward to this show for quite some time and tomorrow is the big day. If I have my wits about me, I'll try and keep track of the songs they do and post the set list.
I have a friend who has been following punk bands for over 20 years. You'll almost never hear this music on the radio but these types of groups have HUGE followings all over the country and again, I was just wondering if any of you have ever heard of them.
Anyone....., Buehler........ anyone?
