Concert Review:  Tech N9ne

Independent Grind Tour
Pops – Sauget, IL
10/17/2010

I’m not what you would call a typical hip-hop/rap fan. In fact, I can’t stand most of it. Friends got me hooked on Tech N9ne a long time ago, but I was very resistant to even consider going to a concert. I finally got talked into going, and the concert was absolutely amazing. This show in Sauget, IL was the second time I have seen the Strange Music Crew, and they continued to amaze.

Concert Review: Bullet for my Valentine

Concert Review:  Bullet for my Valentine

Bullet for my Valentine is one of my favorite bands. The fact of the matter is, they are just GOOD. I’ve seen them several times before, but as soon as I heard their latest album, Fever, I was excited for them to tour again. I saw the Indianapolis date on the schedule and I immediately bought tickets, and began trying to convince friends to go with me. Luckily, I got a couple friends to tag along, and it was ON!

BFMV blew me away, right from the beginning. I loved the fact that they were so energetic on stage, I loved the lead singer’s accent (random I know, but its awesome), and I loved how their individual talent so flawlessly complemented each other. I was a little bit in awe. After I left that concert, I immediately began immersing myself in the Bullet for my Valentine’s album that was out, called The Poison. Several songs on that album held my interest strong, until I was able to see them again. I saw them over the years several more times, and after the Scream Aim Fire album, they solidified a spot atop my favorite bands. (Interestingly enough, I think that The Poison is a better album than Scream Aim Fire, but for some reason it took the second album to convince me.)
