Warped was Sweet!

Ok so Warped Tour was pretty awesome I went with Mike a fellow blogian, but thats besides the point. i mean really when the day was done my EVERYTHING hurt, i hurt in places i didnt know could hurt, from walking, dancing, running, skanking it was a busy day! i got loads of free stuff too! I got posters and a Warped Tour 08 bag(i got it for bending my thumb backwards) and loads of free condoms which i suck in my moms purse when we got in the car and the phone call when she found them the next day was rather amusing. Any way Katy Perry was actually really good GASP! you say? ..... so did I... Say Anything was good also obviously Less Than Jake and Reel Big Fish was wonderful. I met so many people and yes most of them were passed out on the ground from dehydration.. but i survived the sun! yes! i know you are all thrilled.... but i happen to be exhausted from this day and am going to bed early for once in my own bed! yay!

Who is Physced for Warped Tour oh 8?!

ok so this year Warped Tour which if you are a teenager from the planet Earth should know what it is, but for those"Aliens" out there it is a huge concert with some of the year and generations most popular bands. Warped Tour spans all the way from Cali to Canada this year hosting more locally in"my neck of the woods" is in English Town Playing will be Gym Class Heros, Reel Big Fish(a more popular Ska band", Katy Perry singer of the newly discovered song "I kissed a girl" Cobra Starship of whom had a song featured in supposed low budget but then (for some reason) taken an interest in and hollywood risen movie"Snakes on a Plane" with Samuel L. Jackson and later branched out from there. Angels and Airwaves.... eh not for me but to others may be considered as "heavenly". The Color Fred, Everything Must die, The Story of the Year and sooo many more its going to be a hot and hopefully hydrated day for everyone. we can only cross our fingers that almost no one passes out this year from the heat.... but then if they didn't it wouldn't be Warped Tour now would it?

watch or be shunned

....buuut not really

you CAN rock too hard

So the other night i was on the treadmill and Rockin out to my favorite Slayer song"Dead Skin Mask" and as some of you may know i have a sprained ankle and i finally took "the boot" off and was feeling very ready for some action(any movement really i was hobbling for like a month) so anyway i was also watching Family Guy on TBS so i didn't have that "lonely feeling" where you are all alone like at night when u need to sleep with the TV on (that feeling) any who back to the treadmill i was very into my music and my "intense work out" (grrr) and my sprained ankle got caught in the front spinny belt thing and i tripped.....

Battle Of the Bands At the Saint

It was a morbidly metal weekend in Asbury Park starting off with a roaring crowd, multiple fog machines and a few teenagers with a common dream to become a rock star. The second round of New Jersey Shows (promotion company) ninth annual Battle of the Bands at The Saint, started off with a few bumps but quickly smoothed out.At The first show Sat. March 1, four bands advanced to the second round at Station 36 Waretown firehall. Seven hard working bands give it their all to perform and get a prime spot at the Asbury’s infamous The Saint but only one band gets to go home the winner.

The first band that was playing Enclosed Fear, the seemingly younger band had a very pulled together advanced sound that not even many of the bands that have been playing for years can pull off. Most of the crowd was still warming up during the first performance of the show, soon changed their minds when members of the band walked down into the crowd and influenced them to join in the metal fun.

Do some of these kids really know when enough is enough? Bands were yelling to the crowds to start a “mosh” pit or “crowd surf” in the small confined space, the bands who were participating in such activities did get disqualified from the battle. Voice Of The Conquered, a locally known band has been banned from The Saint forever with their audacious display on stage.
Other bands who preformed at the battle were, Bleed the Arsonist and Mystical Fudge, for some of the other bands they were steep competition. Returning, the previous three time battle winners, Morbid Visions, played a fantastic show and one of their newest songs the crowd had been chanting for during their whole performance “Hear comes Gacey” based off of John Wayne Gacey.
“I really love everything about playing music,” said Mark Henley former Morbid Visions guitarist. “I mean, what could be better than hanging out with your best friends and playing brutal metal songs”.
“A Civil Action” spicing things up with their not so much of a metal influence but a bit of rock and alternative sound.
“We want to give back what we (the band) get out of the music we listen to, New Jersey is definitely a hardcore state, and there are some great bands doing an excellent job out there fulfilling this title,” said Matt Johnson lead vocalist of Bleed the Arsonist
Bands that reached the final round of New Jersey Shows Battle of the Bands are, Morbid Visions, Bleed the Arsonist, and Mystical Fudge, they will be playing Jun. 1, 2008 at The Saint at 7pm

Jersey Bands

Well rock on Jersey Shows, this company not only helps bands promote themselves while getting their names and music out there but they also help bands sell tickets! starting a band itself is not an easy task but promotion is another obstacle to jump over. Jersey Shows aids these bands from all over NJ by hosting Band Battles and contests to see how can be the best at what they do. Being a great band is not all, but mostly about playing great music, it is also about knowing how to move around and love what you do, give your(the player's) passion to the audience that music gives to you. Jersey Bands is about the crowd pleasers and the music. it takes a great deal of courage to get up on stage and play in front of people, why not be recognized for it?
