Brent's First Concert

Last night, September 14th, 2007, Brent and I got a screaming deal on a concert at Madison Square Gardens. Brent has never been to a concert before, so he thought it would be fun to go to one in NYC. We got there at 8pm and the first headliner band was Liars, an Australian-based group who... were awful. There was more screeching and screaming than there was melody and tempo. The lead singer's version of dancing was shaking his head violently and kicking his feet (off beat, of course). In case you want to suffer as we suffered, here's a link to some of their music. http://www.last.fm/music/Liars/_/Be+Quiet+Mt.+Heart+Attack%21

The next group, Cat Power, was quite entertaining. The Georgia born lead singer, Chan Marshall (pronounced Shawn), has a beautiful, and sultry voice. We enjoyed listening to her versions of New York, New York, (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction, and all the other songs she sang so sweetly. Here's a link to sample some of her music. http://www.last.fm/music/Cat+Power/_/The+Greatest

Finally, New York based rock band, Interpol, came out to play. The band was pretty talented, but I found the lead singer's voice to be quite annoying. Here's a link to get your own opinion. http://www.last.fm/music/Interpol/_/Evil
Brent and I listened for a few songs and then headed out because it was already almost midnight and we had a long walk home. Overall, we had a pretty good time trying something new, and I think Brent was rather pleased with his first concert going experience.


For those who don't want to copy+paste the links, I have put one song from each group on my playlist. I will keep Interpol's and Liar's songs on for only a couple days, since I think they're quite annoying.
