Went to a concert yesterday. First one since the pandemic, and my god how I've missed live music. Not only was itive, but it was one of my favorite bands playing as well. It was outside so we were told to dress warm and bring blankets. They sold seats in "pods" of four and six, so even though there was five of us we had to buy a sixth seat. Didnt care we wre going to a concert.
The warm up band was a local group from Appleton called
Doozey. They were a more alternative group. Had a sound relatively close to bands like Simple Plan, or Blink 182. They were fun and energetic but we missed their first two songs because we got there a little late.
The second opening act was a group called
Goodbye June which I thought was ironic because I want to say Goodbye May, Hello June. Anyways, this band had a more classic rock vibe and I could easily associate them with the likes of AC/DC. the music they played demanded that you to at the very least tap your feet. I couldn't sit still and I was up moving and dancing in our little taped off section.
When the band Badflower came out I nearly lost my mind. This alternative rock group is simply amazing. Their album
Ok,I'm Sick hit me on a level that no other band has. Their songs like
Jester and
Ghost struck me to my core. Hearing them play those live had me nearly dizzy with emotions. Not sue if anybody has ever felt like that, or you become so engrossed in the music, you almost get like tunnel vision, where the only thing I can see clearly is the stage. I don't know maybe I'm weird, music just has that magical affect on me.
It was a fantastic experience that I needed to pull me from a recent funk of depression I've been in lately, and eith today being mother's day and all that happened... I'm in a really good place right now😎👍
Love you all
Oh, and For those of you who may be interested, they also have an anti-trump song called
