West Coast Winter Tour Review/set list
02-20-07

okay so I've never done one of these before so I'll do my best. here's my take on the show.

first impressions.
the jack's crowd was mostly what i expected.
largly teeni bopping suburban girls with ugg boots on (except for the ones who decided to play dress up and dared to put on chucks.) many wasted no time throwing their newly purchased jack's shirts. the guys all looked the same. american eagle, aeropostal and volcom clad beach bumbs. of course this doesn't hold true for everyone there. but definitly fit the majority. i perticulary enjoyed the girls in front of me who insisted on taking as many pictures as possible in between sets. ii insisted on finding my way into each and every one. yeah i got bored.
oh and I'd like to take the oppurtunity to rant about "that tall guy." he always finds his way in front of me ! dammit. haha


We Are The Fury.
Review:
this was my first encounter of WAF. I've never heard of them, much less one of their songs. i walked into the venue towards the end of their set, so i won't say to much about their set, but they seemed to try their best to get thecrowd pumped, but this seemed futile. they even brought daryll pulumbo out to help sing a whole song. i was shocked to see that not many people there knew who he was much less his of his contributions to this music scene. they finished with a ballad called "gratified." this seemed to really motivate the crowd as they had not been since. i cant post a set list because i am not familiar with them enough to recognize their songs, sorry.

theAUDITION
Review:
the one time i seen the audition prior to tonight was back in august at a bar in philly. they blew me away with they're awesome energetic live performance. they also turned out to be really nice guys who hung out on the stage RIGHt after the show until security started to make people leave. my second time seeing them (tonight) was not a disappointment. they put on a great show and REALLY got the crowd into it. three songs into the set, they played "warm it up", a new song which was really good. super catchy and really fit them well. front man, danny, really kept the crowd involved throughout the show.
they definitly did not disappoint. The audition is fun times.

Set List:
You've Made Us Conscious
Dance Halls Become Ghost Towns
Its Too Late
Warm Me Up(new song)
Smoke And Mirrors
Approach The Bench
Dont Be So Hard

Head Automatica
Review:
head automatica seemed to be a great live band. I've always heard good things about their energy and exlosive live show. i was not lied to. HA brought a lot to the stage and sounded dead on. daryll is always fun to wach and the guys look to be having tons of fun on the stage. they did not disappoint. " beating hearts baby " really got the crowd going. i only have a partial set list, but the songs i DO have listed appear in chronological order.

Partial Set List: (sorry, i missed at least 5 songs, probably more)
Graduation Day
Laughing At you
Oxycontin
Curious
Lying Through Your Teeth
Beating Hearts Baby

thats an awesome review dude, im not gonna lie. but i disagree with head automatica's live performance, ive seen them twice, and its preeetttty bad. i guess it doesnt help that not many colorado kids really like them, the only song the crowd got into was beating hearts baby, but that was it.

the audition, though, is amazing. and jack's, is well. perfect live.

What's wrong with wearing Ugg boots? It's really cold here and they keep my feet warm. I wouldn't wear them to a show, but would it really bother people if I did?

Good review though.

Ugg boots are the ugliest things on the face of the planet, seriously why buy into the trend, you know there not going to be cool next year, there will be some other stupid fad and now you just wasted god knows how much money on.

yea. they are super expensive. my ex girlfriend wore them.
sorry konstantine. didnt mean to offend you.
i have no problem with them.
simply pointing out what most of the girl were wearing so people can get sort of a feel for the crowd at the show in my town.

Uggs actually can be cute with the right outfit...jesus I'm male and just said that...wtf is wrong with me haha ...also they are kind of a trend thing, but they have been popular/in style for at LEAST 3-5 years now..not just this year or last.
