I went to the second concert of my life last night. It was a small little one, with a bunch of local bands at the Uptown Theater. My friend Corey, her sister, and some of her sister's friends were going, and she invited me and our friend Terra to come along. We got free tickets since her cousin was the drummer for the band Burning Tide.
It was a competition, the qualifier round, to see who would make it to be playing at Freaker's Ball. The first band, Beneath the Surface, was really awesome. Their bassist played really well, and their drummer was really great, even though he was a little eccentric. I was surprised at how arrogant most of the people in the bands were, especially the band with the fourteen-year-old kids, the Uncountable Kings.
Personally, I thought Burning Tide was the best, and voted for them. Their singer/bassist, Roxy (sp?) was amazing. She played so well, and had a wonderful voice. Their music was really original, and they had all-around great players. Taz, their rhythm guitarist, was drenched, though. You could see the sweat pouring off of him, when the rest of them were just looking a little hot. Anyways, they were really great. I'm hoping I'll be able to go see them perform again, and really hoping they will make it into Freaker's Ball. They were definitely the best there.
My camera's been broken, so I wasn't able to take any pictures, unfortunately. It'd have been nice to have pictures or a video of that as a memory. Hopefully next time, right?
