That bar by my house that one idiot questioned my assessment on it's "hippness" had the semi-famous band Local H (the one they are always talking about on Q-101) play at it last night. It was FUCKING AWESOME! I got it for FREE, I don't know if there was supposed to be a cover charge or not but if you're not going to ask I'm not going to pay.
Anyway, I have been to U2 Concerts, Pantera gigs, ect. and these guys have the shit. They have the Charisma, skill, and all the cool little guitar tricks, spitting water, making funny jokes, all that fun shit to bring the house down and get the crowd into it. These guys are gonna be big, real big, they are pros.
It was soooo coool, the most fun I ever had at that bar. I am NOT one to get involved if the band is half-assed and I don't get excited about bands easily as I am jaded and a critic. But these guys were at least 10 timed better than anything I have ever seen there and rate right up there with the U2 concert and was probably better because it was a small club so I had so much more interaction with the singer/guitarist. I was right up there so I was instrumental in holding him up on two separate crowd surfing instanced where he was fucking jammin while the crowd passed him around. Then there was the time that he jumped out into the sardine packed crowd and played while he walked around and mingled with the people (I am assuming he went to the bar when he left the stage) and everyone lost sight of him around me only to lo and behold appear beside me as he made his way back onto he stage (I gave him a couple pats on the back for his kick ass job of rocking the house).
Then after the concert he borrowed a camera, I was sitting down and he gets to hot chicks to kiss each other because he likes those Girls Gone Wild videos and I just happened to be directly behind them sitting down so I got the best view of it other than themselves.
Fucking awesome man, I only had two beers all night because it was so busy and had to wait so long to get served but I didn't care, I still felt drunk and drained just from the bone rattling tuned blasting from the speakers and all the Fing excitement!
Afterwards I thanked the guy who brought Local H to the bar and shook his hand and gave the lead singer of local H another pat on the back as he was leaving the bar with his chick in tow.
