    I saw The Neighbourhood on the 10th and it was a pretty good show. Honestly I had high hopes for this concert and the opening two groups were somewhat disappointing to say the least. The Neighbourhood as a headliner were good even though their set was really short, the whole show was less than two hours! The shortest concert I've ever been to. The audience was about 80% female and the crowd was very rowdy and I was expecting this to be one of the calmest shows of the year. Unfortunately my girlfriend was sick that day so it was upsetting to see her not enjoying the show. They played their big hits as well as a new song or two and those were well executed live. I'd see them again, but hopefully with better opening bands. The only real upset was that they sold out of all Medium shirts so I couldn't get a good souvenir from the show. I guess I'll order one online or something.

    Sadly, I too have drifted away from Rush almost entirely, hence why I'm almost never here anymore. Not because I don't like them anymore, it's just that I've found myself listening to other bands now. I'll still throw on La Villa from time to time though. ;)

    2010 Volkswagen Jetta TDI Cup Edition. Worked to come up with a majority of the cost and my father covered the rest. I've had it for almost three months now and it's just a joy to drive, and one hell of a first car!

    Periphery and Norma Jean 2013 Blackwater Music, NM

     

    Let me just by saying that this was a Pre-Summer Slaughter show, they added this date about two weeks before the actual show! I'll start off with the arrival, I got to the venue about an hour before the doors opened to find only 3 people in line, and it stayed that way for about half an hour until the venue decided to let us in. Now while we were waiting, you'll never gues who walked out if the venue but MISHA MANSOOR himself!!! He was generous to take a few pics with me (ill post soon) and said how small the actual venue was, now keep in mind this is one of the smallest venues in Albuquerque and holds only a few hundred, so it's so shocking Periphery was playing here! And on top of all that, it's general admission too!!

     

    Now there were three opening bands before Norma Jean and Peripery, they were local bands called Hollow Tongue, Bathwater, and Sanctuary. Now I was there with a group of musicians from school and we were lucky enough to be in the front for all these bands, which will come in handy later ;). The first band was good, the second KILLED and last opening band wasn't very impressive.

     

    Now onto Norma Jean:

    I have one of their albums and they were absolutely Phenominal live! The crowd was super into it and I had a front row experience since it was general admission. The setlist was great and I got two picks from one of their guitarists and chatted with every band that was performing that evening. Now the band was going insane, like the bassist would throw himself onto me and then proceeded by spitting on me (gross I know) but it was still pretty cool. The sound checks in between bands went smoothly, and this venue had one of the BEST drum sounds live I've ever heard.

     

    Onto the main attraction, Periphery!!

    It was so cool, I talked with Misha so much while they were setting up and did the same with Matt, Jake, and Mark! Nolly couldn't make it due to visa problems, but they made it work without him! So they opened with Icarus Lives to get the crowd pumping and NAILED it live! They proceeded with Facepalm Mute and Make Total Destroy and made constant audience interaction. Very humble and down to earth rockers! Following was Scarlet and Zyglrox, and it was funny, Misha and Mark were doing a little dance off during Scarlet! They finished off with my favorite Periphery songs ever, Luck As A Constant, Have A Blast, and RAGNAROK! Perfect setlist to put a closer on the BEST concert I've ever been too! But the fun doesn't stop there: not only did I catch a shirt from the sound guy in the back, but I got picks from Misha and Jake, and some tape off Mishas guitar rig!! (I also got Mishas water bottle as well ;) ) One of my friends got the setlist from Mishas guitar rig, and honestly, these guys were just phenomenal live! Being as it was such a small venue, it made it more personal and intimate. Everyone in the band was on fire, and it was seeing them before they get all road-worn.

     

    Hands down the best concert I've been too. If they're playing in your area, GO SEE THEM!!
