Last night I went to see Switchfoot and Athlete with Brad, Drew, and Josh. I didn’t know what to expect. I knew Switchfoot had some good songs but I had only heard on song by athlete. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. I was really impressed with Athlete. They definitely have a good sound. Switchfoot was good but just a bit too poppy for me. My buddy Rob gave me a hard time about going to the show. He made me promise that I wouldn’t come back with an ankle tattoo, mascara, and plans to move to San Diego to be near the “boys.”-Thanks Rob!
Here’s my thoughts on the show.
- I’m getting old and the idea of standing in one place for any amount of time is painful. Next time I got to the House of Blues I’m paying extra to sit in a pew up stairs.
- I definitely thought a girl was going to faint when Jon touched her hand.
- Athlete didn’t have their drummer and still rocked!
- I want a keyboard player in a bad way at lifepoint.
- The lead guy of Athlete busted out a few songs by himself on his jaguar. Wow!
- Switchfoot brought the energy.
- I feel that Switchfoots songs carry quite a bit of substance.
- I was unfamiliar with much of their newer songs.
- I bought the Athlete cd. very nice.
- I so wish I was from London and had an accent.
- Check out my pics from the show here.
don’t feel bad, I haven’t heard switchfoot in 10 years, since they were on that $1.99 sampler. that is pretty sad…
Hmmm. Keyboard player, huh? A couple highlights in the hair, a tummy tuck and I’ll be ready to go!
Did you remember to take your “Walk to Remember” movie poster to get signed? Make sure you get it framed and put in your “man cave”.
Rob…I forgot the poster…can I borrow yours?
Touché….
