Ben Kweller @ the Viking Union 9/29




I really don't know what's up with me at concerts since I've started this blog, but I've gone 2 for 2 with the pre concert intoxication, which probobally vastly compromises any journalistic integrety that I might have... Needless to say, I got to the concert about 5 minutes after the opener had finished their set (I heard it sucked anyway... drinking > shitty local emo band). Then the Sam Roberts Band came out, they're apparently pretty big up in the great white north, and all in all, their set was pretty tight. Then BK came out (SIDENOTE-- it freaked me out at first, he looks like the pro snowboarder golden boy Shaun White) and played a solid 5 songs, including good renditions of 'Penny On The Train Track' and 'Run', at which point I drunkenly decided that the keg at my house > BK, and I peaced out. Hey, at least I got there before the keg was tapped and had a pretty solid night. Hopefully I can regain some journalistic integrety later this week though, it looks like I'm going to two shows; Cold War Kids, and Blue Scholars... expect pre-concert posts for both as well as a non-hungover review (I hope).
