gotta speak the truth when it comes to shitty bands with shitty talent from pennsylvania. they give our state a bad name, just like every other god awful band from philly.

[petey536]

such nice guys, when i saw them they were just really happy to talk to anybody. and they play some good pop punk

[DeathCabForCoon]

I love them. I saw them for the first time about a month ago. They pulled about 15 people on stage with them during their last song. Fantastic guys too, really down to earth.

[Just An End]

and who the fuck do you listen to that isnt a "shitty band" with "shitty talent"? because if they're so much better than valencia, i would love to hear them man

[mht]

a homeless black guy has more musical talent than valencia.

[Just An End]

a homeless black guy has more musical talent than valencia.
haha i have no problem with your opinion, although it sucks more dick than jenna jameson, but this is a thread for fans.. not douchbags who have nothing better to do than talk shit about bands they don't like and obviously have never met

[mht]

no i believe it just says valencia (offical thread) so people are free to discuss how much they like or dislike this awful poor excuse of a musical group, thus they are the worse talent ever to assemble and set foot on a stage in my opinion.

[Probono]

a homeless black guy has more musical talent than valencia.

no i actually would love to hear an honest answer to his question. go.

[mht]

i would love to actually meet a not 17 or 18 year old from pa actually dislike this band too, but i dont see that happening.

[Just An End]

i would love to actually meet a not 17 or 18 year old from pa actually dislike this band too, but i dont see that happening.
dude, i don't get the hate man... its not like valencia is the next holocaust or something.. if you dont like them, you dont like them, but you're taking it a little far

[cahrishurr]

just ignore mht..hes just an bitter guy

[mht]

they have no talent at any instrument, singing, lyrics, or living life, they should die like the lead singers girlfriend for all i care.

[aolsux]

fun band, really solid album, i'll be waiting for new material

[Just An End]

just ignore mht..hes just an bitter guy
so ive noticed

[mht]

sad part is i know your friend COLBZ. hahahaaaa

[Just An End]

sad part is i know your friend COLBZ. hahahaaaa
how did you know i know him?

[mht]

your band. bloomsburg. i dont know, just a hunch.

[Just An End]

your band. bloomsburg. i dont know, just a hunch.
after hearing my band, im surprised you didnt say we were the must untalented bunch of kids ever.. because then i would actually agree with you haha

[mht]

no you are better than valencia.

[Just An End]

no you are better than valencia.
now i know you're fucking retarded

[Colbz]

well seeing as though i just saw your picture and know who you are.... gosh its been a while mike

[Probono]

i would love to actually meet a not 17 or 18 year old from pa actually dislike this band too, but i dont see that happening.

well then doesnt that tell you "hmm they must be doing something right."?
or does your elitist attitude force you to ignore it...

[thejetstolehome]

fun band, really solid album, i'll be waiting for new material

what he said.

[Anton Djamoos]

I really like Valencia.

[mht]

well then doesnt that tell you "hmm they must be doing something right."?
or does your elitist attitude force you to ignore it...



no it tells me this band is made up of 21 year old guys probably with no college education just touring picking up 17-18 year old boy fan base which probably means a girl fan base in pa to about 15-17 years old which they can be perverts and womenize and that makes them pedophiles and creeps in my book.


and yes i hear they womenize, and i know no girl thats 20+ would be stupid enough to actually enjoy shit like this. its written in the bible.

[Probono]

ummm ha ha. this genre of music targets teenage crowds bud. getting a 17 and 18 year old fanbase isnt a bad thing. and yeah its hard to get a descent sized MALE fanbase. so everything you just said (other than the pedophile bullshit you pulled out of your ass) is a nice compliment. sounds like your starting to like this band.

most young touring bands dont have college education.

if you dont know ONE single 20+ girl who likes them then you must not know very many people... which is ok. i mean its not your fault your an idiot.

happy holidays friend.

[mht]

ive been runnin the metalcore streets since 92, fuck this pop punk shit and these pedophiles, according to people on this site who actually saw this band live, they said they love the ladies, so i did not pull it out of my ass dickbag.

[Probono]

i like ladies.

excuse me for being straight.

[mht]

ahahahahahaahhaha


i use my awful shitty pop band as an excuse to womenize and get girls from awful venue to awful venue and awful bands i tour with, im in valencia weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.


bad.

[kshtoinks12]

they have no talent at any instrument, singing, lyrics, or living life, they should die like the lead singers girlfriend for all i care.So, so weak.

[mht]

like the band, weak and talentless.

[NickSyseJr]

don't like them. they aren't bad what so ever, they just don't stand out to me.

[mht]

thank god.

[Just An End]

hahaha.. you basically just said it was wrong to be straight.. "they love the ladies".. opposed to men? hey man, if thats your thing.. no biggie.. but let valencia have some fun.. and runnin the metalcore streets since 92? wow man.. you are fucking hardcore.. let me tell ya... I'm gonna go listen to some pop punk now, because apparently, if your valencia theory is correct, people who like pop punk like girls, and i'm proud to say i do :thumbup:

[Branevember31]

really good pop-punk...best thing i ever did on myspace was add them

[Branevember31]

like the band, weak and talentless.

so wrong

[AP_Punk]

I really like their new-ish song, "I Can't See Myself (Getting To Sleep)". A lot.

EDIT: This thread was intense. Haha.

[Just An End]

I really like their new-ish song, "I Can't See Myself (Getting To Sleep)". A lot.

EDIT: This thread was intense. Haha.
as do I... Valencia is one of the only pop punk bands I feel like I can relate to.. their lyrics are just about living life.. we need more bands like this

[AP_Punk]

Mmmhm.

I can't wait to hear more new material.

[houstoncalls!]

Yeah, after hearing that new song I'm more excited about the new album now.

[Genuma]

I like them. It's sweet that they're with ISurrender.

[AP_Punk]

I still want that solo album by Shane (Promise of Redemption).

[EvenBetterYet]

I still want that solo album by Shane (Promise of Redemption).

the new album (when the flowers bloom) will be released very soon :-)

[AP_Punk]

the new album (when the flowers bloom) will be released very soon :-)

O rly? That is great news!

[Just An End]

the new album (when the flowers bloom) will be released very soon :-)
yo.. that's freakin awesome... do you have any clue when the new valencia album is coming out?? does anyone know?!

[AP_Punk]

Their wikipedia page says:
Valencia has stated at concerts that they plan to release another album in the spring or summer of next year.

[NateGolubiewski]

Is anyone going to one of valencia's holiday shows with armor for sleep, four year strong, and the high court?

[ReadyForAction]

I like them, but I prefer Promises Of Redemption
How Fast gives me chillssss

[houstoncalls!]

How Fast is the best song off that album.

Can't wait for Valencia's album though, I'm looking forward to seeing them with The Audition in March.

[EvenBetterYet]

watch an interview and acoustic performance with shane and brendan here http://inklings.tv/

[imajerk]

i heard valencia signed with columbia... can anyone verify this?

[White Noise]

i heard valencia signed with columbia... can anyone verify this?

I don't know, but their myspace and wikipedia say that they are still with I Surrender.

[Yes. And?]

Haha, this thread was great.

[HangsLikeHeaven]

Good thread, bad band.

[GreenJellyBean]

i heard valencia signed with columbia... can anyone verify this?

shhh.

[thenamebdoug23]

valencia is a great band.
they are very modest. i saw them at an underground show, with we the kings and just surrender.
interesting also was upstairs at the same time was blessthefall be4 craig left.

[Audition101]

shhh.
Yea, ive also heard this. Valencia i think mgiht be the best pop punk out there right now too.

[AP_Punk]

That would be a nice Christmas show to see.

[ReadyForAction]

That would be a nice Christmas show to see.

This

[altemose09]

when the hell is the new cd gonna be released?

[GreenJellyBean]

they're still finishing it.

[Genuma]

I wish I could go to one of those Christmas shows. Seinfeld reference wins.

[NateGolubiewski]

i heard valencia signed with columbia... can anyone verify this?

I doubt that they did sign with Columbia. I'm on the I Surrender Street team and we're still going strong on promoting Valencia and Promise of Redemption.

[ParisInFlames55]

i heard valencia signed with columbia... can anyone verify this?

They signed with somebody from what i understand, or think i understand. my guess is that we won't know the details until the record is done and ready to be promoted.

[stayillogical]

They had the crowd do the wall of death tonight. LOLZ.

[GreenJellyBean]

I doubt that they did sign with Columbia. I'm on the I Surrender Street team and we're still going strong on promoting Valencia and Promise of Redemption.

i wouldn't be so sure about that. :) haha obviously you're still gonna promote them. why would you stop now when they need it the most?

[tanglehymn]

i love this band, but this thread was anti-climatic

[AP_Punk]

It's intense at the start.

[AP_Punk]

When The Flowers Bloom... (Promise of Redemption) sounds really good. You can tell it's a really personal album for Shane.

[fly_guy]

Theyre pretty decent. The music's generic, but generic is in right now

[YouthMovement]

not to bump a dead thread... but if you sign up for their newsletter by Tuesday, you'll get a rough mix of their new song "Holiday"(on Tuesday), which is confirmed to be off the next release.

[JordanLML]

why is this thread dead... this band rules so hard and their next album is going to be fucking awesome! i'd love to see a Valencia headlining tour with Fireworks as support.

[AP_Punk]

I want to see these guys live sometime. I missed out a few times, I think.

[AlternateToLife]

These guys are pretty decent.

[AP_Punk]

Valencia plans August release date (http://www.punknews.org/article/29284)

[zubinmoosa]

Valencia plans August release date (http://www.punknews.org/article/29284)
this record is gonna be awesome.

[AlternateToLife]

I think I might buy this album. I have their old one, but I'm not sure how I got it. I think one of my friends bought it for me. But I can't for the life of me think who. Oh well.

[Miss Heartcore]

Ahh my favorites. Good to see a thread about them <3

[AP_Punk]

:whiney:

have you heard the new promise of redemption album?

[Miss Heartcore]

:whiney:

have you heard the new promise of redemption album?
Duh, pretty much the most important album in my life in 08'. Emotional stuff.

[AP_Punk]

Sweet. It's such a bummer to listen to though. But I like it.

[Miss Heartcore]

Sweet. It's such a bummer to listen to though. But I like it.
It's amazing that it's almost 2 years worth of material and you can almost tell what was written at what point. Shane played a demo for me back in 06' and I straight up got emotional in front of him. It was awful but it shows the power of his words and his voice. I've got nothing but love and respect for him.

Yeah, I agree. And he played a demo? Must've been pretty awesome - I would've felt the same way too.

One of the most sad but sweet albums I've heard. It gets me all choked up every time I listen to it. Haha.

[Miss Heartcore]

Yeah, I agree. And he played a demo? Must've been pretty awesome - I would've felt the same way too.

Yea he was playing a bunch of stuff for me...he's my buddy like that.

Dude, don't even get me started on the clip of Dana leaving him a voicemail...gets me every time. Sigh. I'm listening to the album right now.

[AP_Punk]

oh man, that song.

i haven't heard all of the lights that flicker yet. been meaning to get that one for a while too.

[slytim]

I'm so pumped for there new album. Holiday sounded fucking gnarly.

[AP_Punk]

oh yeah, i haven't heard "holiday" yet. haha.

[KidRobot]

I'm having a harder and harder time telling these power pop bands apart.

[NoSurprises]

Valencia isn't shitty, they just sound like a lot of other bands out there that aren't that shitty either.
Valencia is from Philly though (woot!), which is pretty awesome.

Its all pretty damn generic.

[hockeyguitar99]

Its all pretty damn generic.

It's really not that generic, vocally, i agree with you completely, however, musically, they use a lot more technical components, there's hammer-ons and shit like that.

[checkered.stars]

Riyl?

[AP_Punk]

taking back sunday :-D

[checkered.stars]

Really?

[AP_Punk]

hmm...not really.

haha. i just said that because i know how much you love TBS. but if you like catchy pop rock stuff then valencia are gooood.

[wewascontenders]

Promise of Redemption, All Time Low, Houston Calls

[checkered.stars]

Aw. :-(

And you suck haha. Don't take advantage of weaknesss!

[AP_Punk]

:-p

[checkered.stars]

Balls. I'll check them out anyway.

[hockeyguitar99]

good idea. I ook at them as a step above most of the generic shit.

[Miss Heartcore]

oh yeah, i haven't heard "holiday" yet. haha.
Demo is on their myspace. Duhhh

[AP_Punk]

:hitself:

[hockeyguitar99]

Holy Shit, the new song is catchier than aids.

[Cuddleworthy]

i was forced to watch this band live thanks to my ex and it was miserable. 14 year old girls jumping up and down and getting my white diesels dirty. fuck them

[hockeyguitar99]

haha, you're right, but i still need the artwork.

[Carlo Marx]

weak band.

[Protested Hero]

Are there any previews of the new album around?

I don't usually read Tate's blog. But he said the album is similar to the feeling STD's Through Being Cool had, and that's my second favorite album ever made. So strike me interested.

[Miss Heartcore]

I think it's too soon for an Album review since it comes out in August.

[freeelilly]

Valencia is doing the Loopt promo. You sign up and you get updates from the band directly on your phone. Band with most sign ups gets an HD video cam so let's help them out.

Ive been getting pictures and updates about them on the road...getting flat tired....kind of sad but Im sure they would like to hear from their fans!

The program info is here: loopt.com/followthemusic

and their video promo is here:

The only reason we'll be doing it early here (beginning of August) is because we have some promotional stuff we're doing with them.

hockeyguitar99 is just a showoff.

[Chris Fallon]

Yeah, I was just clarifying haha - wasn't trying to shut you up or anything haha

At least we have a reason! And a good one at that!

[cscwell107]

Valencia is awesome!!

[Keagan Ilvonen]

Need new cd nowwwwww, god.

[FayeQC]

where did you go is so good
can't wait to hear more

[GuitarR0cker1]

Valencia is just great, especially compared to most new Pop Punk bands.

[ThisIsNotDan]

these three songs are pretty solid. may have to buy this, for sure

[JordanLML]

these three songs are pretty solid. may have to buy this, for sure
do you have the songs? if so would you mind sending them to me? im in desperate need of new Valencia... dont worry ive already got a copy of the album waiting for me the day it comes out, but i didnt do it through their pre-order so i didnt get the songs

[DaveZeroZero]

w00t, new album!

It rules even more because the opening track is totally about anal.

[fran.182]

w00t, new album!

It rules even more because the opening track is totally about anal.

Wow! You really love anal

[DaveZeroZero]

Wow! You really love anal
I sure do! Want some?

[Praetor]

You got your 10k, Dave. You can stop posting now.

[DaveZeroZero]

You got your 10k, Dave. You can stop posting now.
I'm still only posting about a quarter of what I was posting before I got it. I've tried to slow down, I promise :)

Look at it this way - if I had continued at the same pace, I'd nearly be at 12k by now.

[tm decomposer]

I enjoy this album a lot more now. I got to listen to it on my 23 mile bike ride in its entirety. Middle of the album is really, really well done. I hope this doesn't take them in the Boys Like Girls approach to major radio though.

[somattrightnow]

same formula, tried and true i suppose

idk, but i'll keep listening

[AP_Punk]

Sounds nice.

[fran.182]

I sure do! Want some?

only if we change the position time to time


so i can really hurt you with my big monster

[emkvetwin]

bump, because We All Need A Reason To Believe is now out. officially.

EDIT: and it is a great album, of course.

[AP_Punk]

After listening to it a little more - yeah, it sounds really good. I like it a lot.

[11:11]

These guys used to be best friends with one of my family friends. She went to all their shows when they were starting out around here, and hung out with them a lot. Wonder if she still does. Oh well, its nice to see a great band get the credit it deserves.

[AP_Punk]

the b-side, "Running Away", sounds good too.

[Miss Heartcore]

They made Running Away a b-side? Wow, I forgot about that song.

[Matthew Tsai]

it's good, but not revolutionary

[AP_Punk]

They made Running Away a b-side? Wow, I forgot about that song.

poser!

[Miss Heartcore]

poser!
:-/

They would switch off from that and "I can't see myself" in the Fall of 2006.

[flynn92]

saw them again on their latest tour in Raleigh, NC with Sing It Loud, Single File, and Cash Cash
it was awesome, i love when bands do small tours like that. Nothing will beat their originals like "away we go", "eagle Mount Drive" and "The Space Between" but the new album is very well done and expresses a whole new side of valencia. I am really excited for the band, and i hope to see them on even bigger tours than supporting All Time Low all the time.. Great Music Guys, Keep it up!!

[HelpMeSleep]

I love the new record. I've been listening to it fairly obsessively. and I wish their tour with Cash Cash came out here. but I'm going to see them when they come out here with The Matches. :-)

[DaveZeroZero]

The Matches > Cash Cash

[JordanLML]

havent been able to stop listening to this album despite my many many attempts. besides the stellar songs, i cant get over the superb production, which is filled with almost unnoticeable nuances that make the record what it is. also its refreshing to hear something more sonically raw and honest than the fuckin Maine or FTSK record or whatever other scene pop band has a record out this week. the lyrics are brutally honest and open, and the level of muscianship is unheard of for the scene they are in. A+++ on the record!

[HelpMeSleep]

The Matches > Cash Cash
The Matches are from where I'm from! :-) I was going to go see them in june but I didn't get to.

and I'd rather go to their tour with The Matches and Bayside for sure. but I still want to see Cash Cash lol.

[EchoPark]

are we talking Johnny Cash here?

Who the fuck are Cash Cash? another disposable boy band/pop punk/neon wearing/flat brimmed hat/skinny jeans/high top nike with neon laces group I'm sure. No one will remember or give a shit about them in 2 years

[HelpMeSleep]

oh okay. cool.

[dancelukedance]

Recently started listening to valencia but only their debut album which is good. Whats the new one like? i might download it in the next few days? i hope they havent gone a bit all time lowish...

[EchoPark]

Valencia are far superior to All Time Low in all aspects.

[Miss Heartcore]

THIS:
Valencia are far superior to All Time Low in all aspects.

[DaveZeroZero]

Valencia are far superior to All Time Low in all aspects.
not sure that I fully agree with that, but it's an understandable sentiment.

[Miss Heartcore]

not sure that I fully agree with that, but it's an understandable sentiment.
No way is ATL better than Valencia on any level except for attracting a bigger teen girl fan club.

[DaveZeroZero]

No way is ATL better than Valencia on any level except for attracting a bigger teen girl fan club.
and a bigger Dave fan club

that said, I enjoy both bands immensely.

[JordanLML]

Recently started listening to valencia but only their debut album which is good. Whats the new one like? i might download it in the next few days? i hope they havent gone a bit all time lowish...
its the complete opposite of ATL. i dont think its possible to like Possibility and not like Reason. Think of the more poppy/marketable songs like 3000 miles and Away We Go.... but better. hard to imagine i know, but they pull it off on like 9 out of 11 tracks on the CD

[emkvetwin]

Recently started listening to valencia but only their debut album which is good. Whats the new one like? i might download it in the next few days? i hope they havent gone a bit all time lowish...

let me assure you that they have NOT gone "all time lowish." i mean, i'll listen to ATL occasionally, but the two aren't really comparable.

IMO, the new album is a big step up. more polished, more accessible, and more mature. the two songs on their Myspace should give you a good idea... the first one is my favorite song on the new album.

[iDavid]

the new cd is good shit, number 1, 4, 6, 7... my jams

[Broden Terry]

I'm so far behind that I haven't heard the CD yet. I've bought it though.
I'm still listening to Asteria's EP. Pretty good stuff.

[StaticSleep]

I bought Possibility when I saw them supporting Kids In Glass Houses. I haven't heard any of their other stuff, but I quite like it.

[buzzrockradio]

I run an internet radio station (http://www.buzzrock.2ya.com) and I love Valencia. Possibility is one of my favorite cds! Reason is even better I have no clue how this band is not bigger. At the station we have been playing Valencia since fall '05 and The Space Between got great feedback and we interviewed the band and they were really cool. I found out about the Valencia thru another band Capital Risk and went to one of there shows and really fell in love with their music. Living and going to school in the Philly area I always smile when hear 2 songs blasting in out of kids cars The Starting Line - The Best of Me and Valencia - The Space Between.

P.S. Anyone hear the Valencia B-Side Running Away? That is one of my favorite songs at the moment!

My sister's best friend's dad taught TSL in high school. He was their music teacher. And our family friend who's a little older than me was best friends with Valencia while they were starting up. She would go to every concert and hang out with them afterwards.

[DaveZeroZero]

your sister's best friend's dad? swt brag.

[Keagan Ilvonen]

lol

[11:11]

your sister's best friend's dad? swt brag.
well, shes more like her "sister" since theyve been best friends for...10 years? idk, a long time. so she sleeps over all the time and we talk to their parents a lot and have parties and stuff, so i know him. i couldve just as easily said "my friends dad", haha.

you should totally do her for the brag value.

Seeing them live in about an hour. So excited to hear the new material. I checked out the little acoustic show at a local FYE this afternoon and it was was pretty cool.

[HelpMeSleep]

I wish bands I liked did cute little acoustic shows like that around here :[

[captainamazing4]

i love this band and i love their new album

[MADSTA]

I decided I needed to hear We All Need A Reason To Believe, and wow am I impressed. Really solid pop punk album, very enjoyable.

[beautyofgrace]

i haven't been able to download the b-side correctly. it downloads onto my computer but then it won't open or play or anything after. any ideas?

saw them yesterday at their acoustic set, then found out the show that night was cancelled. i love seeing valencia live, they have crazy energy and i'm a huge fan of both albums. can't wait to see them again.

why was the show cancelled?

[HelpMeSleep]

a few days ago I got my ticket to see them on the Bayside/Matches tour. I'm so excited.

I already saw them at Bamboozle Left but that was when I just wanted to check em out now I love em.

[beautyofgrace]

why was the show cancelled?
i guess they didn't get insurance to play at the venue. wasn't their fault though.

[DaveZeroZero]

i guess they didn't get insurance to play at the venue. wasn't their fault though.
you need insurance to play a show? what?

[beautyofgrace]

you need insurance to play a show? what?
i guess so. in case one of them gets hurt there or something...i don't really know but that's what they told me haha.

[YouthMovement]

i guess so. in case one of them gets hurt there or something...i don't really know but that's what they told me haha.
i think it's insurance as for as the venue goes, like respecting the rules, not damaging venue equipment etc... im fairly certain thats what they mean.

[AP_Punk]

i still can't find their new album around here. boooo.

[DaveZeroZero]

i still can't find their new album around here. boooo.
don't you know how to use google, kirbz?

[HelpMeSleep]

i still can't find their new album around here. boooo.
it's seriously not in any stores around you? I got mine at best buy here the day it came out. the usual tuesday routine... they haven't even put it on the shelf yet so I always have to bug someone to find it for me. :-)

[AP_Punk]

yep, can't find it in any stores here.

guess i'll have to order it online someday.

[HelpMeSleep]

that's lame. but I order a lot of cds online anyway.

[caityconundrum]

can't wait to see them again in a few weeks. so damn good.

[YouthMovement]

i told myself when i downloaded the leak that id buy the actual thing, but i honestly couldn;t find it anywhere near me at all. so on a makeshift trip to my local used record store yesterday, it was the first thing i saw and it was only 6 bucks so i pounced on it.

ps, does anyone else get annoyed when bands dont use the typical jewel case? im a display freak and these paper packages urk me.

I don't like em either. my new Jack's came in one but it wasn't that bad. the worst was one that was like a paper box, it didn't even open like a regular cd case, and it got smashed up in my room. I have two copies of the cd because it bothered me so much I had to go buy another one in a regular case.

[AP_Punk]

all right. the new album is finally available at the best buy here.

i'll pick it up. eventually. haha.

[HelpMeSleep]

haha yay! :highfive:

[Miss Heartcore]

[caityconundrum]

i went to the bayside tour last night and it was swellllllll.

I saw them on monday night, so good. and I left my wallet on their merch table and their merch guy was really awesome and cool and I got it back. good reason to buy their cd! lol :)

Yea I was kinda pissed when it wasn't a jewel case.

[SilenceBrokenTT]

The promoter for the Tempe show cancelled this show (as well as fifty others!) so the closest one is in Tucson.... on Sunday... anyone gone so far?

[caityconundrum]

i went on wednesday and it was swell. i'm trying to go again on saturday but i can't find anyone to go with mee.

[fran.182]

it's so bad this is isn't selling well

[11:11]

Yeah, I agree. I think everyone should go out now and buy a copy. Make it law or something.

[caityconundrum]

i plan on driving an hour and a half tonight to see them for the second time this week and to buy the cd. because they didn't have it at the show on wednesday. and i love them.

[HelpMeSleep]

yay caity! that's seriously awesome :) I'm jealous. where are you driving to for the show?

[caityconundrum]

san diegoooo. house of blues. i tried to find people to go with me but i failed at it. my show buddy lives seven hours away now. :-(

[HelpMeSleep]

awwww :( that's lame. my show buddy turned into a cheap flake who spends all her time with her boyfriend so I kinda know the feeling. I just started going to shows by myself the last few weeks because I don't want to buy my friends' tickets to persuade them to go. :shrug:

I've always wanted to go to a house of blues but never have. there was one at downtown disney when I was in disneyland last weekend but I went to a show at chain reaction instead.

hahah well she didn't exactly flake on me but that sucks about your friend. i've been to a handful alone since she moved but this one's further away and i've never been to the venue so i'm not as stoked about going by myself hah.

anaheim is the only one i've been to. i'm not that big on house of blues, mainly cause i like smaller venues with cheaper tickets. who'd you see at chain? i used to practically live at that place.

[HelpMeSleep]

hahaha, I know! moving is hardly flaking, especially since I assumed you were talking about Ashley :) I just meant I know how much it sucks to lose a concert buddy. but yeah, it's different when it's farther away and you don't know the venue. so far I've had two incidents going to shows alone that involved me calling my dad lost - one driving in san jose in which I even turned the wrong way down a one way street and one in san francisco last weekend where I got off the train only to release my directions to the venue weren't in my pocket anymore... oops lol.

oh, are house of blues pretty big then? I agree about liking smaller venues. the one I saw valencia and bayside at was really small and my first time going there, I liked it quite a bit. really? I'd heard about it for a long time and had always wanted to go there even though it's totally not near me, and then I finally did when I saw four year strong there last saturday night.

you assume correctly. :-) haha. we almost got lost once looking for a coffee shop in san diego but that was because my directions were retarded. like one line actually said "take the exit." that was it. so sad. i can't imagine losing the directions completely though. i'd be bummed.

yeah, they're pretty large. big enough for big-name acts to play fairly often, but not like huge venues or anything. obviously not like an arena. i'd put it somewhere between chain and like a full on theater type venue. ohyeah, i loved chain. first show i ever went to was there. it's not even that great of a venue quality-wise but i love it to death. i've been there way too many times hahah.

[Burn That Shit]

Is this the band with the fat singer?

[caityconundrum]

you sound like a jackass. he's not fat.

http://a101.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/21/l_bc8afcb8a90137343eaaadbc6c33c014. jpg

second from the left. he's lost some weight but he was never fat.

haha, I knew it :) lol wow, those directions sounded just a little ridiculous. google maps tends to fail me a lot but I always use it anyway. losing the directions was so frustrating. I spent a good ten minutes on the phone with my dad where he was yelling at me because I couldn't give him an exact address for the venue and then he was mad at me about where I was even though I gave him the station I'd just walked out of, two cross streets, and a fairly well-known theater I was standing in front of. it was freezing and I was wayy late, so I ended up giving up, total bummer.

that's awesome. who was the first band you went to see there? that sounds like slim's here... I'll always have a place in my heart for it haha.

Is this the band with the fat singer?
No.

[caityconundrum]

google maps IS retarded but i always use it too. it's just convenient. hahaha that conversation must've been tons of fun. i'm not even gonna bother telling my parents i'm going tonight cause they'll bitch about jobs and gas money and long drives in my crap car. oh well. it'll be worth it.

my friends' brother's band (bullet train to vegas) played with uhmmm. prisoner's dilemma? i forget. that might be wrong hahah. it was so long ago.

[Spenny]

I want them to come to Vancouver. :(
I love both LPs to death. :o

The video you posted says "We're sorry, this video is no longer available."

What the hell was it? Hardcore porn or something?

[Burn That Shit]

Valencia video, youtube must dislike their music as well.

[caityconundrum]

if you don't like them don't post in the damn thread. any videos they have are probably a few years old. good job.
