The Matches, Scissors for Lefty, Brilliant Red Lights 06-14-08

Brilliant Red Lights opened the show BRILLIANTLY! The bass player, Evan, has great hands and he used them very well...the guy worked it! A special little treat too included the drum line from McClatchy High School in Sacramento (and the guy walking to the left of one of the drummers actually came out and played the keyboard rigged up with some sort of sling hahaa it was great!
Scissors for Lefty...eh...struck me as 80's glam rock. I was reallllllly not a fan of their wardrobe selections, in fact...I bordered on grossed out. Their pants were so tight, I feel like I KNOW them well now. Sadly though, I liked the lead guitar player's style on his fender. It was mint julep in color *pause* but it had a really crisp rockabilly sound, and that was good. The pictures don't do his guitar justice. Also on a equipment note, the bass player had this tiny bass and it had hot pink strings....
The Matches WERE FANTASTIC! Every time I see them they're awesome. I'm sorry I don't have anything constructive to say.
Justin is a fantastic bass player. And he's photogenic when I'm standing in front of him.
I got a fair amount of cool light shots.
Jon is fantastic....
And photogenic too! Shawn is hot and good and photogenic as well...but all the times he was close enough to get good shots of I was rockin out too hard to get a good shot. I think the girls next to me were irritated. Muh...OH WELL.... oh and Ben Young rocks a mean triangle.
And check out my youtube for concert footage!
