Shows, Shows, Shows

When my boyfriend and I first started dating we would go to shows all the time. We got to see a lot of really good and cool bands. Bands that are actually big. Not just your local bands trying to make a name for themselves. We would mainly go to shows from ReactionMedia at Off The Wagon on Dexter Avenue. I have had soo many great memories going to shows there. But a while ago, maybe a year, RM stopped arranging shows at Off The Wagon. Guess David thought he was getting "too big" for Montgomery, and started branching out and creating venues in Birmingham and Columbus, GA. I have been to a good number of shows in Birmingham too, which I always enjoyed, because I love a road trip, especially if it's to go see a show. I have also been to shows in Columbus and Atlanta. I went to Taste of Chaos in 2009 to see Bring Me The Horizon and Pierce The Veil. That night I absolutely fell in love with PTV and have been obsessed ever since. I was already obsessed with BMTH though, so I got super excited when Oli Sykes came on stage talking with his British accent. It was so funny to hear him talk. This past year at Warped Tour I got to see both BMTH and PTV again. Pierce The Veil put on an AMAZING show, like always. They had just come out with thier new CD, and of course I already had every song memorized, so I was happy that they decided to play quite a few of the songs off of their newer CD. We saw BMTH last, because they were the closing band. It started storming BAD right after PTV, so everyone had to move into the covered auditorium. We had to sit through some guy who calls himself Never Shout Never, and that was pure torture. He is seriously such a prissy little guy, and did not fit in at all this year at Warped Tour. This year had a majority of more "hardcore" bands. Overall, I enjoyed Warped Tour 2010 alot, despite the extreme heat. I'm already ready for next year. I wish there were some shows actually worth going to around town in the mean time. There are a few shows every now and then, but they are at churches so none of the bands that I like would be going to a church to play. Most of the shows in Montgomery now are lame. I wish ReactionMedia would open up another venue in Montgomery..
