I Promise--UNDEROATH

So, I guess it's lame to put up a picture of concert tickets, but still, I hadn't been to a concert here in Denver until Saturday...so I was excited!

Tommie and I had the awesome opportunity to go see Underoath at the Fillmore Theater (which is an incredible venue...it even has crystal chandeliers and everything!). Since Kenny plays in Aaron's (the drummer for UO) side project, we managed to get the tickets gratis, which made the night that much more enjoyable.

The picture to the right is ACTUALLY a picture of Maylene and the Sons of Disaster, a band out of Birmingham that features, Dallas, the ex-screamer/singer for UO. I thought it was so telling that these guys were from the 'Ham because they all took off their shirts toward the end of their set and continued to rock it hard...I thought it was fantastic.


I don't know if you can see the picture to my left very well, but since Aaron (again, the drummer for UO) was the one who got us our tickets, he also hooked us up with a sweet spot to watch the show. We got to sit in "front of house" which is where the soundboards and stuff are in the middle of the venue. That also meant Preggo here had a seat during the show and we didn't have to bump shoulders with the cute little sweaty moshing emo kids. Plus, it was awesome to see all the sound equipment and such. Oh, an everyone bragged on Kenny, Tommie's brother, because Aaron had gotten a blood infection about three weeks ago and so Kenny filled in as the drummer of UO on tour for two weeks and apparently ROCKED IT! So congrats to him for being such a fierce drummer.

Finally, to your right is a pic of Underoath, which was the most incredible band of the night...which is good, because they were the headliners. They had background videos, very fantastic lights and the best music of the night. They may scream, and that may not be cool with some people, but they also are incredible musicians and it was AWESOME to see them live. I especially like the keyboardist/synth guy, he's on the left of the stage. He usually only has one hand on the keys and the rest of him is shaking like a polaroid picture. It's awesome.

So, here's to Underoath for an amazing show, here's to Aaron and Kenny for making sure we got to see it for free, here's to the Fillmore for a venue that doesn't stink and here's to Denver for making my first show here wonderful!
