When my mom told me I got a pair of tickets to see one of my favorite bands, The Pretty Reckless, I freaked out. I was very excited to see them live and hear the music that I love performed right in front of me. I thought I was going to see a great show and great opening bands. I was so excited to see a rock band not only fronted by a female, but by someone just two years older than myself. As excited as I was, I unfortunately found myself very disappointed.
I arrived at the venue at 4:00 trying to avoid what I thought would be a long line of concert goers and expecting doors to open at 6pm. I knew that every concert runs a little late, but when I arrived there were about 10 people on line and doors opened at around 7:15. There were rude fans blowing smoke in my face and things just seemed to be out of order. When the first opening band, “The Parlor Mob,” went on, my dislike of the night had started getting deeper. This band was so unfitting and corny that they sounded like they should be on “One Tree Hill.” There was almost no crowd interaction and I sat down is a crowd where 100% of the audience should be standing.
They next band, “The Blackboard Nails,” were just as dull and uninteresting to me. While I was impressed that the band was made up of triplets who were my age and touring the country, I was also disappointed that they too had no crowd interaction. I sat down during this performance. The last opening band, “The Hollywood Kills,” was amazing. [click to continue….]
