teen heat
Fact: The Blood Brothers are my very favourite band that has two singers, of which neither can really sing.
Singing is overrated anyhow, especially when you can scream your ass off.
The Blood Brothers don't play for audiences, so much as they sonically assault them, and a packed Mesa Luna was more than happy to play the victim tonight. Say what you will about all-ages gigs, but despite the fact that a handful of youngsters were a little too fond of standing on the stage, I'll take youthful enthusiasm over jaded (or worse, drunk and obnoxious) adults any day of the week. There's something a little special about a show when both the band and the fans didn't show up for any other reason than to get in eachother's faces and rock out as hard as they could, and I've rarely been to a 19+ gig where that's happened. If you've seen them on any of their previous visits you know what you missed.
You Say Party! We Say Die! opened and were their usual charming selves, if you are charmed by wanting to dance... and let's be real, if you aren't charmed by music that makes you want to shake it, you probably aren't charmed by much.
now playing: Gang of Four - Anthrax (Blood Brothers Remix)
