For Those About To Rock

I brought 3 girls(13,15 and 16) to the Orpheum in Tampa, FL to see Miss May I . The venue was well managed and Had great security. My girls were at the front of the stage and had the time of their lives. The sound system sounded superb and I was very impressed with my overall experience. The parking was very close and easy to get to. I would definitely Go back to The Orpheum for another concert. All 5 bands : (Miss may I , Abandon all Ships, Bury Tomorrow, Crimson Armada, and Sleeping with Sirens) - Were Excellent !!!!! I was amazed at how friendly and social theses bands were. My girls got to hug, shake hands, get pictures and talk to any band member they approached. These bands Really know how to interact with their Fans! Some bands even Wished my daughter happy birthday mid song and others gave her their drum sticks to her, and CD and Many Signatures. My girls will NEVER forget how amazing this night was! If these Bands continue to interact and keep their fans this involved with their performances, Their potential is endless.

The Twilight Sad. Absolutely brilliant show. I've been wanting to see them for quite some time and I wasn't disappointed! Massive sound and passionate performance. If you get the chance go and check them out!

TBR concert was amazing ! The music, the lights, the people ! It was my brothers first time going to a concert and it was a wonderful experience. Pier was outside selling shirts, such a nice man, he even let me take a photo with him. They introduced us to Fossil Collective. They are an awesome band. You should check them out. It was their first time performing in America. They will be back for sure !

Authentic hard working artist with a solid band behind him. On the cusp of breaking out. Can t wait until he comes around again!

The opening band "AM" was very good and i want to mention that first as i never heard of them but i am certainly now a fan. Zee Avi however was amazing. Her voice is what always drew me to her and she did not disappoint. Her voice as always was absolutely amazing and better live then on CD's. I like that she did not just her album sets but other songs from all corners to really showcase what her voice can do. It was an amazing time.

Japandroids did a great job of playing about 15 songs. It was an incredible bargain at $5. The sound was decent. I did have earplugs in as I am approaching 40 and wish to retain my hearing but it still sounded great. In fact, I'm sure every show will be done will earplugs. I was up close on the left side of the venue right in front of the speakers. The Newport does not have many bad spots. It was awesome. Funny, I only knew about them from a year ago when Tosh mentioned them on his show!

Really enjoyed Hey Marseilles at Chateau Ste. Michelle on Sunday. Very talented group both vocally and instramentaly. Had a great time dancing to their unique tunes. Very listenable and fun!

This show was beautiful. Elizabeth is unforgettable, a voice that makes everything sound beautiful, and music that makes the heart stop...and then beat more powerfully. The Spring Standards are pure joy. So much fun to be in the room with them. So Simple So True was a Moment. Thank you for sharing your music! What a gift!

From the harmonies, to the instrumentals, to the individual talent of each of these women, I m with Her is a trio made in heaven. Every song was dynamically crafted and rendered with so much heart and soul. Loved watching them work together and hearing their creations. I m with her is definitely my favorite band right now.

Just started listening to this band this year. Their albums are very good, would probably best be described as alternative rock. Casey Mcpherson is the leader and is a wonderful singer and songwriter. The band for this show was very stripped down with Casey on keyboards and guitar,his drummer who also played some guitar and sang and a new member on electric guitar. I enjoyed hearing their songs because I am familiar with them but with they didn't sound as good as the recorded versions which are much fuller. Since it was a small venue I was able to meet and talk with the group members after the show. I hope these guys catch a break and get a hit to boost their audience. They are much better than the gigs they are playing on this tour. Please check out their recordings ,really good music compared to a lot of the garbage out today. I would go see them again and will do my best to make other people aware of AR. Opening act was Jared and The Mill from Arizona. Their drummer describes them as rocknroll with folk instruments. Country rock sound with nice vocals, bought a cd from them which I like. A bunch of young guys trying to make it in a brutal business so look them up and show some support.
