BAMBOOZLE ROADSHOW

So, I'm lying in bed, reflecting on my day. I was at the Bamboozle Roadshow, this concert that probably has over 20 bands playing, with two stages, a boatload of people, and a BUNCH of ways to spend money. Though I won't talk about the money spending, I'll gush about the bands. All of them (well, that I saw).

Mercy Mercedes
Ehh, they sound MUCH better recorded, but they weren't bad live. I probably wouldn't go out of my way to see them.

Stereo Skyline
Now, THESE guys were fantastic. It was my second time seeing them, and they really do put on a good show. I love Brian particularly; he's the most animated when he's performing. I gotta picture with them (and Meaghan, my sister) in their tent after their set. I would definitely love to see them again.

The Ready Set
Easily the second best band I saw today. The singer has SO much energy when he performs, and he can sing more quickly than any other person I know. They played my favorite song, and I sang along to the whole thing. I bought a shirt by them, and got the singer to sign it. I definitely definitely definitely wanna see them again. Soon.

Forever The Sickest Kids
Ehh, okay. Nothing to gush about. I like their stuff, but their performance wasn't all that great.

Good Charlotte
AGH, I loved seeing them again. They played ONLY good songs, and it really brought me back to my childhood years. Those guys basically composed my entire listening library in fifth and sixth grade. I loved the nostalgia that surge through me when they played The Anthem. Their show wasn't all that exciting, but they sounded amazing.

Simple Plan
Basically the same thing as Good Charlotte. Sadly, I missed some of their set 'cause I was walking around. But what I heard was good.

Third Eye Blind
They were...decent. I loved the three songs I knew. During Jumper, Alex Gaskarth (from All Time Low) came out and started singing it. Honestly, it made my life.

LMFAO
I went into this set not wanting to hear a word that came out of these guys' mouths. But luckily, I listened. Their stuff is so catchy and fun to listen/dance to! A MOB of people formed right near us, around this old drunk guy who was dancing. It was awesome. The energy in the audience during Shots was INTENSE. I loved every minute of it.

ALL TIME LOW
MY FAVORITE SET OF THE ENTIRE NIGHT. Honestly, I forgot how fantastic they are. I hadn't seen them since last April (of 2009), and boy, did I miss them. Though they aren't my favorite band anymore, I still belted out all of the lyrics to every song. I loved Alex's and Jack's sexual, vulgar banter during the set, as well as everything from te lights to the smoke to the people around me dancing. I would see them again in a heartbeat. 1,000 times.

Boys Like Girls
Ehh, they were okay. The lead singer would randomly, weirdly scream. I wasn't a fan. Thunder was unbelievably powerful though.


I had such a good night. I can't wait for Warped Tour in (about) two weeks!
