Veruca Salt
Goldfinger
Marky Mark + FB
New Found Glory
Blindside

Time for an update! On the 27th I'm going to a radio sponsored concert with:
Billy Idol! (YES! He's my reason for going)
Devo - The husband says they are good, I'm reserving judgement.
Blondie
Psychadelic Furs (again)
Twister Sister (meh)


And....wait for it, wait for it....


REO Speedwagon.
Sweet.

Updates:
Billy Idol was kick ass. He started off White Wedding acoustically...it was AWESOME.
Devo - Ok, so the husband and I thought they were not as good as they used to be.
Blondie - she was good, getting older though.
Psychadelic Furs - Were good, sound pretty much the same as always
Twister Sister - Was really good actually...Dee Snyder is funny as hell and had a great personality on stage.
REO Speedwagon - were really good for a group that made it big in 1973, they were rockin it.

And special guest was: War - that's right...they did Lowrider, Cisco kid and Why can't we be friends to open up the concert.


And, I just got tickets to see Coldplay! YAY! I'm so excited! Has anyone seen them before? Are they as good as I hear they are?

I saw Jason Mraz last night in Boston. I've been to a good amount of concerts in my life, and that was seriously the best one I've ever been too. Absolutly amazing performer, if any ofyou get a chance to see him, do it.

Someone I went to high school with toured with him as his guitarist for a long time.

The most recent concert I went to was The Bamboozle in NJ and Bamboozle Left in Calif. for work (April and May). Got to see a bunch of good up-and-coming bands AND No Doubt and some other big names. I think those concerts could break the record for the highest number of Chuck Taylors in one place.
