Foxy Shazam 05-19-08

First off, as a rant and a pre-review thought. I was thinking as i left an epic performance from Foxy Shazam that cost $12 to get in, how these clown mainstream acts (97% of what is in top 40)that put on a show 10% of what Foxy Shazam put on, charge $70-150 a ticket. Basically $100 nap. I dont need a stupid explanation. Since when can you can put out a couple regurgitated corny songs, then you charge 10 times what your performance is worth? Oh wait, ALL THE TIME! If you do that you should just go die cause you are worthless and not an artist.

Now, the show! It was totally rad as usual. Tera Melos opened, which is a mosly instrumental band with enormous talent. They are very visual, Beka and Rakel were in the back and got bored but Gregg and I were up front and got to see what they were doing and it was fascinating. Look up some videos on youtube.com if you want to check them out.

Foxy was next and for us the headliner :)

They started as epic as usual, then went into "Ghost Animals" which was amazing! Then went into "The Rocketeer" then "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" and "Introducing, Foxy" then into "A black Mans Breakfast". After that, a story from Eric, then into "Yes, Yes, Yes" and finally my personal favorite "Red Cape Diver"!

The energy was so amazing, and although everyone was mostly there for Fall of Troy, but after Foxy was done, i heard everyone around me just falling over themselves saying "who were they?" "that was unreal" etc. People flocked to go buy their CD. It was awesome seeing people hear them for the first time and be struck dumb.

If you want to see my videos from the show just go to my youtube website!
