Piano Rock

Needless to say, last Saturday's concert was lots of fun. Fiction Plane was good. Their lead singer looked a lot like Sting and even had a hint of a British accent. Although, the people around me didn't seem to like them very much, a group of about 15 people even sat down for a while. Vendetta Red was a lot different than I expected. I downloaded some of their mp3s before the show and they seemed like they'd be good, but they ended up mainly just screaming way too much. Juliana Theory wasn't as good live as I thought they would be. I can't believe they didn't play Congratulations, with such a cool guitar part and the fact that their CD has a video of them playing it live you would think they would have.


Something Corporate was simply amazing as always. They defintely got the crowd into their songs more so than any of the other bands. Though there's something very amusing about seeing/hearing a bunch of 12 year old girls singing "I kissed a drunk girl." And I have to admit setting the piano and stool on fire at the end of the show was a fun touch.

Here's the setlist for SoCo as best as I could remember:
Konstantine
Fall
Straw Dog
Little
I Want To Save You
The Astronaut
Drunk Girl
I Woke Up In A Car
Punk Rock Princess
Hurricane
Wait
If You C Jordan
