Music Mix

     This Year has brought some amazing music and some amazing concerts! There have been so many unforgettable times with listening to and meeting cool new bands!! This is a recap of the concerts I have seen  this year! And I HIGHLY suggest all of these bands! They were all amazing!
     First up is the concert featuring A Silent Film, Civil Twilight, and The Rassle! They were all simply amazing!! A Silent Film's hit songs include You Will Leave a Mark and Driven by Your Beating Heart. The lead singer, Robert has a beautiful voice and amazing piano skills. The Bassist, Ali, is the best i have heard in a long time. Spencer, the drummer goes crazy on the drums and its fantastic! Last. but not least is Karl, the guitarist has genius skill!
      Civil Twilight sings Letters from the Sky, most of you probably heard it at the end of the movie I Am Number Four. They are absolutely amazing live, and put on a great show! I want to see them again as soon as possible! And The Rassle was a fantastic surprise! They were the opening act from NYC. Their music is addicting and they are giving away their EP for free on their site! (i linked above). The top photo is A Silent Film, the middle is the Rassle, and the last is Civil Twilight.

   The next concert was in May, the radio 104.5 free summer block party, this also was featuring A Silent Film. They also had Biffy Clyro and Kingsfoil. Biffy Clyro is an AMAZING alternative rock band from Scotland! They have an awesome sound and put on an awesome rock show! They come out with no shirts on and completely rock out! I will never forget it!!
     And Kingsfoil was also a surprise! They were the opening act for this show! They are from York Pennsylvania. They are fantastic, and really funny! Check them out! The concert was in May, but it was surprisingly cold and rainy, despite the weather the, crowd was huge and ready for a show! All of the band's performances were unforgettable!

The Next concert was in June at the TLA in Philly! This featured Foster the People! I LLOOOVVEE these guys! I loved their music, but was a little skeptical of how they would translate their sound to the stage. I was so amazed and impressed with what they did! If any of you have a chance to see them live please do it! It was so much fun, they were amazing, i want to experience it again! Here are some photos, sorry they are not the best!

     The next concert was also in June, and was also a Radio 104.5 summer block party! This was Featuring The Company of Thieves. The lead singer Genvieve, has the most amazing voice and an energetic stage presence! This Show also had She Wants Revenge! They are absolutely awesome!! Really, have a listen to them. They have a cool and different sound! Photos: first two; Company of Thieves, bottom two; She Wants Revenge.

     In July Radio 104.5 had another concert at the Piazza at Schmidt's. This one had Young the Giant! I have loved them for a long time! They sound awesome live, and are so fun to watch! Sameer's voice is fantastic! I just ordered their tee and CD because they sold out before the show ended! The opening act was a local Philly band! They are called Alright Junior. They are so cool! I love their music and think they will be pretty big sooner or later! Check out their EP on iTunes! Photos: top four; Young the Giant, Bottom two; Alright Junior.

     Last but certainly not least was another Radio 104.5 show. This took place in August. This features The Airborne Toxic Event and The Naked and Famous! These two bands are indescribable with awesomeness! All I can say is that they were fabulous! Mikel from TATE ended the show by climbing the rafters, and mid-song Anna crowd surfed. It was truly unforgettable! Photos: Last Two; The Naked and Famous, the rest are The Airborne Toxic Event

I cannot wait for the 2012 concert season to come around!! I will keep you posted!
