Grails Concert

I'm back home from my quick trip down to New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. I had to get the transmission pan replaced on my car yesterday on top of getting a nasty headache.

The Grails, along with Lilacs & Champagne, rocked. L&C are made up mostly of Grails. It's interesting to hear L&C live compared to the album versions of their songs. Their albums almost have a Hip-Hop style, while live they are defiantly rock. Here's one of their songs from the show I was at:

The Grails took the show. Their musicianship is incredible. Being somewhat musically talented myself, as well as trying some songwriting here and there, I'm amazed at how many melodies and riffs they can intertwine and still produce an awesome product. They're great to listen to if you're writing something mysterious and/or apocalyptic. Here's one of my favorite songs that I was lucky enough to hear live. For whatever reason, the video upload feature can't find the video.

I also took some pictures and thought I'd share them. Nothing fancy.

Outside Saint Vitus, post-show.

Overall, I'd really suggest going and seeing your favorite band live. It's totally worth it, as long as they're actually talented.
