I love me some SR. On Thursday, matt, mel and I traveled to one of my favorite Dallas venues, HOB's Pontiac Garage. Some people may say HOB is too commercial and that they have "sold-out" but I love a venue that I allows me to enjoy a concert without the threat of lung cancer. But I digress...We went to will call to pick up our tickets to realize that we were probably the oldest people there...maybe by at least a decade. Turns out the opener, Rebulution, is a fav of the high school kids. So we drank a few beers at the bar before State Radio came on.
State Radio did not disappoint. In the past, there shows have been great, but their music was a little sloppy. Their sound wasn't as good live as it is in studio. But years on the road have helped them fine tune their craft. This show was the best SR show I have seen to date. They played a lot of songs from their first 2 albums and surprised us with a few new ones. There is a song about the ocean between us...or something...and I loved it. I can't wait for the next album to release. The coolest thing that night....I scored the set list (on a ripped piece of paper written in sharpie) Could it be any cooler? After the show, the band came out to visit with the fans. Matt scored all 3 autographs on his show poster and we even got some good pics with Chad. I begged Chad to get on the Austin City Limits line-up....they are perfect for ACL. Maybe this year????
