Let's Get Fancy!

Notes: 2 / 1 year ago

Regretting that it has taken me soo far too long to see hellogoodbye live, whether it was the fact that I missed the oppurtunity cause of sold out tickets or not being able to go yesterday made up for it. They are hilarious as a whole, sound even better live, and seriously felt like a party instead of a concert. I now vow to make sure to go see them any chance possible from now on.

Anticipation

Sunday night is the We the Kings concert, quite excited its like a day after christmas present to ourselves, well actually technically I did get me my ticket from Caila for my birthday… Im looking foward to it.

I just havent been to a concert in gosh what has it been….. 6 months or so, Im starting to get withdrawals & such. I need a good concert at a good venue, with a band I enjoy, basically just a good general concert experience. Plus because of this lack of concerts means theres been a lack of going-ons with letsgetfancy.com and this blog in general. perhaps this is just the push we need to get things back into the swing of things.

thats my rantings for the night.

p.s. merry christmas!!!!

The Rocket Summer’s album comes out on February 23. I bet you’re excited.

It’s been awhile…

Okay. So I know it’s been a while. I apologize. I’ve been swamped with school, Justine too, and finals are this week. I promise that after this week, the interview with Kevin will make it up. Also, we didn’t go to We The Kings because Travis never got back to us, but fret not my friends, we will try again in February. So there’s been a lot happening, but I’m probably not going to get to everything on this post. Also this will probably be the only post until I get back home because once I finish this I’m going to start studying for finals.

So, We The Kings released their new cd, Smile Kid, on Tuesday. It’s really good. I promise. I’m listening to it right now. If you buy it at Walmart you get a free membership to their fan club, and a chance to meet them, I don’t have the details because I bought my copy at Target before I found out about that great deal.

Kisses For Kings, a band I think I’ve mentioned atleast a few times, put an EP teaser up on their myspace page. www.myspace.com/kissesforkings. So go check it out. Maybe I’ve told you, maybe I haven’t, so I’m going to tell you. I found them because it’s Tony Lovato’s [Mest] new band, and Mest is my favorite band so I was excited to hear his new stuff. I really like it. I actually have one of their songs on my myspace profile playlist, Risk It All, an you can listen to that song on their myspace too.

So while I’m on the subject, if you’re a Mest fan you can still buy stuff on www.mestmerch.com. I know I put that website down on my Christmas list and next to it I wrote “pretty much anything fom this site” and I’m expecting the cd for Christmas, since I strongly suggested for my mom to buy it the other day. haha.

Oh and I forgot to mention this before, We The Kings got an official website! www.wethekingsmusic.com. Also they announced a headlining tour for february-march time period. You can check out the tour dates when you check out their new website! =)

Another thing you may be excited about, and I know I am, is Warped Tour ‘10! The dates are up at www.warpedtour.com so go check it out, they’re announcing bands soon. =) yay!

This may make you think I’m a little behind, but am I the only who didn’t know about Armor For Sleep breaking up?! I go through phases with them, but love them. While putting a crapload of music on my Itunes last weekend, I came across What To Do When You Are Dead, and I’ve been listening to it so much, and I somehow stumbled across an article about their break up! I asked Justine if I had known about that [because sometimes i find out that stuff and freak out then forget then find it again and freak out again] but she didn’t even know about it, which means I probably didn’t either. Bummer.

So Quietdrive does a stickam chat every Wednesday at 7pm CST. Which, if you live on the east coast like me, is actually 8pm, and if you live on the west coast is like 5pm? I think. I’m not 100% about that one though. So they’re pretty funny, and they usually play a song or two, and sometimes have guests, and play games. Because of my internet connection here in the dorms I can’t watch it because it lags too much, but if Justine watches it while we skype, I can listen to it on hers and watch it on mine. and yes, we’ve done this. Also Quietdrive is doing a myspace contest, the winners could get a phone call from the guys, all you have to do is put a widget playing their music on your profile and then send them an email with some of your info in it. http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendId=3033909&blogId=520913196. Wicked easy, so go do it. =)

Today I came across two Taking Back Sunday b-sides from the vinyl version of New Again? I think. Anyway, I don’t buy vinyl because its too expensive when you can’t even use it haha, so they should’ve released these on cd. anyways. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tmq50zHnWHE&feature=related,

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMluo9pIR1c

the second one I almost feel like should’ve gone on Louder Now. But the first one is really good. well they’re both really good.

This month’s AP comes with My Chemical Romance posters =)

Tomorrow at 1pm the presale for New Found Glory’s first album ten year reunion tour. http://newfoundglory.frontgatetickets.com/

I think that’s all my brain can come up with folks.

I hope that will hold you over until next week. [If I survive finals]

Happy Holidays =)

The Space, Hamden CT

So we made it to the Quietdrive show last night. We saw a total of six bands, and I’m going to write up a little review for you all once I get back to school and I’m all settled. Overall the show was pretty good, I’ve spent months trying to find the name of the band and song that I used to listen to, and they happened to be openers. Kevin was nice enough to sit down for an interview after the show, and Justine will be writing that soonish, also we have tons of pictures, so we’ll post them as soon as we can. We also are going to request a Hometown Hereo interview with a band we met last night from Boston.

But I’ll explain that when I write my review, this post isn’t about the music. This post is about the venue. The Space in Hamden, CT is just that, a space. Tiny, only about the size of a house basement, tickets consist of a hand stamp, and the stage is just a step off of the floor. Though they are well staffed, security is at a minimum, they don’t really interfere between the fans and the band, which makes for the show to be a bit more enjoyable to not have to reach around a security guard to grab the hand of your favorite artist.

If you’re looking for an intimate venue, we’ve decided being there is almost like being at a party, the band is playing, and theres a food bar in the back serving all types of food. The bands are allowed to socialize with the crowd. The only drawback for a band may be a lack of people. There was probably 30 people tops in there last night, but it was decently full. Several of the opening bands introduced themselves to us, and everyone else, striking up conversation, and you could see Quietdrive lurking in the back of the venue talking to some people, and watching the openers.

The sets are short. Five or six songs for the openers, eight or ten for the headliner. There are comfy couches lining the walls for people to sit on, and tables and chairs in the middle of the room. This venue is cute, and cozy. And perfect if a band is looking to play to a small intimate crowd that they can have fun with. As for the concert goer, this place is perfect if you’re hoping to meet the band, and also parking is a breeze, it has it’s own parking lot, rather large, and doesn’t charge.

Over all, this is a venue Justine and I would like to frequent, however its about 2hrs and 30mins from home, so we probably wont. We are going to search for a cozy, intimate venue like this in Boston, and around Western Massachusetts. This venue is even perfect if you’re bored on a Friday night, and want to go out with a friend and hear live music.

Check it out if you’re from the area, and haven’t been. If you’re not, and a band you want to see is playing, trust me it’s worth the drive. =)

That’s all for now, I’m going to try and get the review up in a timely manner, but I’m still operating without a personal computer.

Later Folks. =)
