Outliers: Not a big fan. As I said the last time I saw them when I left the show early because they were totally not interesting... Lack of energy from some members and lack of a polished sound from everyone.
Like a Martyr: I've never seen these guys before, and they totally rocked (maybe because I was starved for some talent by this point?). 4 peice with great energy and a funky rock sound. Heavy bass lines, some catchy riffs and an aura that they know what they are doing. Well dressed and ready to rock, they definitely got the audience's attention. Apparently they have a song being played on the radio right now? Doesn't surprise me as they had some solid tunes. They wouldn't fill and entire arena at this point, but they sure kept us entertained. Not bad, not bad at all.
Check out their myspace and listen the song "Elizabeth" http://www.myspace.com/likeamartyr
Black Mondo Grass: The guys were beaming when they went on stage. You could feel their excitement as they gave each other a congratulatory hugs and hand shakes. This was it, their first C.D. is out and they are about to play an awesome show. They fucking rocked it hard and filled up the dance floor with fans wearing BMG shirts and who knew the words to the songs. It was fantastic to watch and super fun to take pictures of. Mike, the lead singer twisted about on stage and kept the energy high in the room as the band played loud and tight. Shea on guitar ripped it up and Ian on drums played a superb thumping set. I bought a copy of their CD, "Summers Cold". I recommend it, and make sure you check out the song "Girl in the white sweater", pure genious.
