The first band up was Twin Tigers, a band from Athens, GA. This band was so incredibly great to watch and had such a great stage presence. I honestly can't get over how great of a choice they were to bring on tour with Minus the Bear and ATAL.
As Tall As Lions was up next and this band has been such an inspiration to me over the past few months. They played material off of their new(ish) album, You Can't Take It With You, as well as some of their older stuff. If you ever in your life get the chance, you have to see this band. It's one of those bands that's in the top 50 bands to see before you die. The stage was fairly crowded with all of their instruments, but it was awesome to watch them get around to playing the trumpet or keyboard or steel drums because when you have that many people on stage and a small amount of room, you have to get creative.
Last up, but most definitely not least -- Minus the Bear. The Seattle-based quintet has been one of those bands that won't ever get old for me. I've been listening to them since high school and I don't think I'll ever stop listening to them because the music they make is so unique compared to what's out there. You won't hear songs like this on the radio at all. They played one of my favorite songs first, "Knights" off of their "Planet of Ice" album. Some new stuff was tossed in there and then some songs off of their EP, "Beer Commercials." The funny thing was, I kept getting e-mails or texts and each time I would go to check them, their guitarist was about three inches from my face when I went to look back up. ...and of course they played an encore. That's just how good the band is. Minus the Bear is another one of those top 50 bands to see before you die.
