Shows

Venue: 3rd St. Promenade
Performing: Seis Cuerdas





Venue: Henry Fonda Theater (aka: Music Box)
Performing: Goldenboy, Copeland, The Rentals





Free shows by great artists are the best. I really enjoy listening to those two guys playing a sort of rocked out version of flamenco on their acoustic guitars. If you search for them on google you will come up with their site that has music on it.
Copeland was a little disappointing because only the lead singer was there, the rest of the band couldn't make it on account of some sort of family emergency. But it was still a pretty cool acoustic set with a violin accompaniment. I was also a little bummed because they did not play California.
Please forgive the poor video quality. Natalie said that me with out a video camera is like a person with out an arm, or leg, or some part of their body. Well, i guess i lied, i do have a video camera...it just is really tiny and can only record crappy 15-17 second segments.
Goldenboy was cool. They have a cool sort of driving sound that gets my head bobbing. And The Rentals were a surprise to say the least. They are quite a mix-matched group of musicians, but with high energy that's fun to experience live. I think if Jared Parker was the lead in a band he would perform like the lead guy of The Rentals.
O, and the sound quality was great. I think i am going to enjoy attending more shows here in Cali. Especially Brand New...oooohhh, Brand New...


O...and ^she^ was in The Rentals...

-and aley is lying, she loves copeland forever. especially 'downtown'.

oh and alex is a go for sure says chris.

so will we have to be segregated and pretend we're not together? haha that would be funny. we could just pretend that you found us poor minorities and your fulfilled white family of four (and a golden retriever that you have yet to purchase)in your good will, decided to rescue us and take us under your wing.

k that will be the story. if you have any amendments just forward the changes to me ASAP!
