This show was near the end of the Trainwreck tour, it was obvious the bands were a little worn out, but they're also bands that tour non-stop. The Living Room was the venue, and it wasn't near packed.
I arrived right while Drive By was finishing up, from what I heard (and saw), they were terrible. There is no excuse for a band member (let alone, the lead) to stand there with his arms crossed while he sings. Terrible stage pressence.
The crowed grew, there were probably about 100 people there when Just Surrender hit the stage. They did a good job at pumping up the crowd, they're an increidlbe live band. While the sound wasn't great (it never is at The Living Room), they still did thier best. I've never seen this band before, and I'm glad I got the chance to.
After Just Surrender finished off thier set, about 30 people left the venue, leaving less than 70 people, give or take a few. Anterrabe hit the stage, telling the crowd that they're probably not going to enjoy them all that much, because all they do is scream. Part of that was true, all they did do was scream. Aside from that, the crowd definitly dug they, they were a lot of fun. A little pit started with some hardcore-rubberband-dancing, always ammusing to watch.
Then a few more people left, and there were probably only 60 people there to enjoy Boys Night Out. It was kind of sad that a band this good couldn't fill up a venue this small, very sad actually. In my opinion, BNO should be able to sell out The Living Room, and there's a lot of people who I know that love BNO, that didn't even know this show was going on. Sucks, the Living Room should have advertised it as much as they do the rest of thier shows. Whatever....
The crowd ate up the band, they played every single favorite...including a few tracks off of Broken Bones and Bloody Kisses. They sounded great, but it was definitly dissapointing to see that there really is no more Kara in the band. I always thought she added something to the band, and they seem a little empty without her, but alas, it was an amazing show.
