MCS Show

the show was by far a pretty amazing show! The Show kicked off with EONS a simple band, but I didn't really enjoy their soft into a little deeper rock transitions. They came on to a packed Knitting Factory and only got maybe 4 or 5 acknowledgements, which proved the unpopularity of the band.

Followed by EONS was Farewell which in my opinion was great (I ended up getting their CD). They came on strong despite the fact that it was 6 people cramped onto the one stage. In the crowd it was worse though with the majority of girls that were dying to get into the front at any cost of the well beings of people around them. Farewell played an amazing set and then Motion City Soundtrack finally came on.

Before the show I was told that I wasn't allowed to use flash at the concert because they were taping for myspace which frustrated me because the only decent shots i could get would be because i had flash. i got into an argument about it and ended up being told that if i kept persisting that i wouldnt be allowed to shoot at all so i left...

So motion city soundtrack found their way onto the stage and played an amazing show (despite the fact that i got beat up by the surrounding girls. I ended up shooting with flash but only about 100 photos so it was somewhat of a dissappointment, but the show was so worth it!

Pictures will be up here tommorow from the show
edited and all =]

tonight

So i was on myspace the other day and i was looking through concerts to see what im gonna want to go to so i can take photos of the shows and build up a portfolio. i was trying to make a list of shows i wanted to go to one including a november show in nyc which had Motion City Soundtrack headlining so i got excited.



then i kept looking through concert dates and different bands id want to see and take pictures of so i looked around until i stummbled onto a bulletin that said



Myspace Secret Shows presents Motion City Soundtrack CD Release show



so im thinking thats awsome



then i keep reading and it says

"Mom, I think the easiest way to explain the enormity of this band is that they are the next up and coming Beatles!"
