A3

So one of my favorite bands has toured my time zone, to my knowledge, once. I got to see them then, but it was about 7 years ago. And they’re playing tonight. And I cannot tell you how excited I am. For a long, long time they never toured here and no one knew who they were so I stopped even attempting to follow them! You couldn’t get any of their albums here. And I thought that went away with digital, but no. Then their music was used on The Sopranos (the best part of the show, IMO), so everyone I knew kind of scoffed at their music. It’s been a hard road! But there’s not many other bands that sample Jim Jones in their country techno, so it’s not like I could find another outlet.

I can’t even imagine seeing them in a venue this large. But I can only imagine it will be awesome.

I also got to see Devo last week, who I have always wanted to see. Seeing both of these bands I have been waiting years to see in one week is crazy! But exciting.
