Sooo! I have finally joined the blogging world! Wow-wee about time i say! I always have a million and one things or other to say but i never get the chance, or i post them in silly Myspace bulletins, which delete after ten days. But yay! I’ve been in such a great mood lately! this past week has been amazing! on Saturday i got to see The Amity Affliction , (If you’re reading this and know me, you’ll know they are one of my all time fave bands :) at the Corner hotel in Melbourne, under age of course; only seven more months until i hit the big One Eight!, with We Are the Ocean from the UK supporting and a band called Hopeless, who i unfortunately didn’t watch live as me and Jessie & Danii decided to have a catch up/goss sesh in the dunnies x) because we didn’t get to in line as stupid Vline train got replaced by a coach, which brings me to another topic. I HATE bus rides that last longer than half an hour, mainly because on most buses these days there are no opening windows, only air con which makes me feel sick. so i was majorly bummed on this whole bus situation. and i ended up getting there an hour later than i had planned. Anyway stayed at the side for most of it, watched WATO, kids got pretty much into them, then they played a new song called Confessions and i was absolutely blown away by the guitarist Liam’s voice, I have never watched a performance and been touched like that it was amazing! Amity played as i expected them to, i didn’t get into it much. The crowd was mostly full of 13 YO girls trying to mosh and crowd surf, so it was a fail even trying to get remotely close, plus i was wearing a singlet top BIG MISTAKE, aha. so after that i went back to the city with Jess and her friend Hayden, got something to eat, and raced back to SCross to catch my bus home! I made it literally in the nick of time!
Then i got home slept and woke up Sunday to bus it into town to watch it all again.
Yeah apparently I’m the only n00b who pays to see amity twice :P
but they were playing here in Geelong! and i always love Melbourne shows. Geelong kids make it shit because most of them are there too look cool and tough at a hardcore scene and not because they love music, or a certain band which shits me. Geelong kids are quite snobby to be honest, they way they treated WATO when they played was disgraceful they came all the way from the UK to play for some snobby kids who acted as though even clapping along would kill them. I just hope the rest of their shows made up for it, because I’d like to see them back here again, i really enjoyed them :) a few kids moshed a bit for amity which was fun, but i wasn’t really dressed for moshing as i figured no one would get into it.
but i was up the front and Joel gave me the Mic in I Heart Roberts, which is the second time I’ve had mic grabs in that song! but anyway it was quite hilarious because it was a screamo part and i obviously CANNOT scream to save myself. So i was singing the words which amused him as he was cracking up -_-
lol! but anyway Jess got mic grabs in JJ’s part in Stairway to Hell which is rapping so she got the easy shit! i got jipped i tell ya. haha anyway their set was cut short as Joel was sick and losing his voice because they’d been playing two shows a day. (poor guys!) but yeah after that we went outside, Jess finally had a somewhat of a conversation with Joel and got a photo! and we may or may not have graffitied in the dirt on their van :P
but that was my AMAZING SELFISH WEEKEND! well the short version anyway. but everything’s been so good lately, i don’t want it to end which inevitably it willl and I’ll feel shit for a bit. but i guess that’s life full of ups and downs.
