Making All The Moments Last

So while I was away due to computer issues, I was kind of busy. One of the things  did get to do was see Emery perform live. Emery is one of my favourite bands so I jumped at the opportunity to see them live. And the tickets weren’t expensive at all. Only $15. Sweeeeeeeeeeet. Unfortunately, I do not have any of the pictures from that eventful night in May. I’m still waiting for my friend to post them. If she ever does, I’ll put them up on here.

The concert started at seven and there were Four opening bands (Bad Talk was at the date I went to. They’re not on the poster.) so Emery didn’t come out on stage until around 10:30. It was so amazing When Emery started playing. I was consumed by the feels.

Emery has Christian influences in their music. So they tend to tour with other Christian bands and in venues that uphold Christian morals or whatever. The channel was a nice venue. The opening bands were kind of…. bad. But that’s only my opinion. I’m not into overtly Christian metal/post-hardcore/screamo bands.  But one of the opening bands, Bad Talk, was really good though. They had more of a punk-ish sound. I enjoyed them. And their bassist is adorable!

All and all, I had an excellent time and enjoyed myself. I could repeat that night twenty thousand times and not get tired of it. Here’s one of the songs they performed!!!

The Concert Experience

Seeing a band perform live is always a glorious occasion.So far, I’ve only seen Falling in Reverse, Senses Fail, Pierce the Veil, and Taking Back Sunday perform live. (I have also caught a glimpse of Miss May I and Yellowcard perform live as well) I went to Warped Tour during summer, and it was like nothing I’ve ever done before. The mosh-pits, the crowd surfing, the musicians, the other excited fans. It was overwhelming. It was AMAZING! Unfortunately, the local venues around here are sketch. And not many bands stop in South Carolina, anyways. I vowed to myself  that when i become more mobile (I don’t have a car, as of now), I’d go to every concert concert possible. But if i could see any 7 bands perform, I’d go see:

  1. The Ramones
  2. Dance Gavin Dance (when they first released Whatever I Say Is Royal Ocean)
  3. Alexisonfire
  4. The Fall of Troy
  5. At the Drive In
  6. White Stripes
  7. Dead Kennedys

If you could see any 7 bands, past or present, perform live, who would they be? Also what was your first concert experience like?  😀
