More concert pictures and videos

So we had a lot of fun at the concert, Andy is hooked now. Along with Relient K the Classic Crime and Owl City played. The Classic Crime is more hard rock and Owl City is more techno, a lot like Postal Service. Andy and I did our homework and tried to learn all the songs of the other bands too so we could rock out with all the bands, we felt like we were the only ones who knew the Classic Crime, more people knew Owl City, and EVERYONE went crazy for Relient K you could barely hear him sing at all because everyone in the crowd was screaming every word of his songs. We went with our friends James and his wife Melissa.

This was the Classic Crime. I liked his songs but I have to admit I am not really into the the whole indie look. I guess I prefer my bands to look more grunge. The classic crime guy came out with beautifully styled and highlighted hair, yes, HIGHLIGHTED. But he did put on a good show despite being an hour late!

This was the set up for Owl City. I wasn't quite sure what to expect from them because they don't play the normal instruments like more bands you see. They had three mac books and just stood there pushing buttons. They ended up being pretty fun to watch just because they were so different. They were definitely dorky but that is what made them fun. They had a screen projector behind them and when they started playing their music all the lights were turned off except the projector. It looked pretty cool.


Next up was Relient K! I was surprised to see that there were so many little kids with their parents there! Relient K is a pretty clean and family friendly band.





He played a lot of different songs that weren't his, which was kinda fun. He played the Office theme song, the dollar foot long song for subway, and one of Cake's songs, The Distance, which was awesome! They had a fun set up, a piano on stage, like 20 well we counted 10 guitars, a banjo, an accordion, and trumpets!




Andy and I pushed our way to the front for a couple of songs, it was about 10 degrees hotter and to the right of us were a bunch of guys that were moshing. All the sudden I felt Andy leave my side, I looked over and he was in the middle of the mosh pushing guys around and going crazy. I couldn't believe it! I started laughing my head off. I think it was a group of little high school kids because Andy said they were wusses and that it was nothing compared to playing in the post when he plays basketball.

When we left our ears were ringing and we stopped at the closest 7 11 and got drinks because we were so hot! Now we are looking for the next concert to go to! Anyone in?
