Chain Reaction

So there's a small venue near where I live called Chain Reaction. My friend told me about it because he had gone before and he wanted to go again. So I said alright and I look up some of the bands playing there. It was a lot of unknown bands, names I had never even heard of, but then I saw the band Ludo was playing. I knew a few of their songs because one was on the radio and a friend of mine had the album so I had listened to some of there stuff and of course was immediately a fan of The Horror of Our Love, which is a beautifully evil song. So we got there at like 7ish but the band wasn't on until like 9:40. We ended up just doing random things to pass the time, like we went to Target and got cookies and then we sat in my friends car and watched Team Four Star's Dragon Ball Z Abridged. Which is hilarious and I would recommend to anyone who watched DBZ as a kid. When the band came on I was instantly a fan. I swear the band themselves were having the most fun in the whole place, and the lead-singer just having the time of his life. It really made me want to be in a band, to just go up on stage and act crazy for a few hours with a couple good friends, and even thought it's hot a balls and you're sweating bullets you couldn't care less. Anyway when the show was over, we got some autographs and some pictures and stuff. Then the guy on the synthesizer, handed out some CDs of some other band and told us to listen to them and post what we thought on his facebook. I thought the name of the album was good: "The First Album was Better." The songs themselves were a little to slow, I mean a ballad here and there is fine but the whole albums was like that. I felt the song about squirrels taking over the town went a long ways towards redeeming the album but they're not a band who's career I see taking off

  4. It's always cool to catch a band in a more private venue.
    I think the audience has more fun when the band is enjoying themselves.
