Ok... got that out of my system. This was a concert that I have been waiting for..... I figured that this was going to be an awesome concert... I was wrong... it was EPIC!!! The opening band was a baby band (as in they only had a few songs recorded) and they were from LA. I was expecting them to be... well an opening band but holy crap... I'd go see them if they were doing a concert by themselves. The band was called Beat Club and keep an ear out for them. They sound like A Flock of Seagulls, Depeche Mode and the Strokes had a complicated love child. They had me dancing from the first couple of notes. Plus they are super super nice... They hung out after the show and signed autographs!
Capital Cities was next... I was on the balcony at the 930 club, dead in the center.... beautiful! No drunks pushing and shoving and no giant sweaty guys in front of me. I have no set list for them because I was too busy dancing my butt off to worry about it.. I can tell you that they opened with Kangaroo Court (my FAV!!) and they also played Love Away, Chasing You, I Sold My Bed But Not My Stereo (my anthem),Chartreuse, Farrah Fawcett Hair, Patience Gets Us Nowhere Fast, Stayin' Alive (Bee Gees cover) and they closed with Safe and Sound along with an epic dance party. I have seriously not danced so much at a concert in my life. Go. See. Them. If. You. Can. So much fun!!
Fitz and the Tantrums were great too. Not as much fun to dance to as Capital Cities but they put on an awesome show. They have a great chemistry and Noelle can sing her guts out. I found their set list on my favorite site www.setlist.fm . You can find most concerts on there and it's a cool site to figure out what a band might play or what that awesome song was that you couldn't remember the name to. Here's their set list:
- Get Away
- Don't Gotta Work It Out
- Break the Walls
- Breakin' the Chains of Love
- Keepin Our Eyes Out
- Spark
- Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)
- House on Fire
- Fools Gold
- Out of My League
- Last Raindrop
- 6AM
- MerryGoRound
- L.O.V.
Encore:
Money Grabber
The Walker
They were a really cool band and I like to listen to their music when I'm driving or just chilling out. I still recommend that you check out their music. Especially Money Grabber, The Walker, Breakin' the Chains of Love and Out of My League.
Here's a picture that the band posted on their facebook page and I just had to share because I'm a dork...
It's cool to be able to find yourself in a picture from a concert! That's all for now. Go check these bands out on youtube... you won't regret it!
