Saw Vamp Weekend 9/23 at the LC, they have been on my band bucket list for a long time. This was the type of show I wished would never end. It was outside so the sound wasn't as great, but the band stayed true to record sound. I look forward to seeing them again, maybe at Bonnaroo this year?? (Fingers crossed!!!)

MET YOUNG THE GIANT THIS WEEKEND!
Talk about being at the "right place at the right time" We were out Saturday with no big plans & decided to swing by Brother's Drake Meadery here in Columbus when we heard YTG was playing a private show. We ended up meeting the band & getting to see the show. Anthony has seen them a few times live, once at the Basement for $5 (he's a pretty big deal) and he always raved about them. I was super impressed. Sameer, the lead singer, has not only a killer & unique voice, but quite the stage presence. I overheard at least two straight men talking about wanting making out with him, lol. I had a blast meeting the band, they were all really chill, nice guys.
They just announced their next tour & their new album comes out in January!
MGMT- Meh
Saw MGMT last Thursday at the LC Pavilion. I've really love MGMT's old stuff, ie: Kids, Electric Feel, Time to Pretend, but their new stuff is just not my style. It's sort of creepy, futuristic sounding. I also felt like the energy wasn't there for this show, but was glad I got to hear my favorite of their songs live. Warning: their backdrop is freaaaaky.

Capital Cities
Capital Cities 6/25 @ A&R music bar. By far the best show I have seen all year.I had the opportunity to see this new and upcoming band at Bonnaroo earlier in the month only two days after their album, Title Wave of Mystery, dropped. That show was incredible and so I was very much looking forward to seeing them in a more intimate setting. This show was originally scheduled at the Basement but quickly sold out, so they moved the show upstairs and released a hundred or so additional tickets. I was lucky enough to score a couple of tickets and so glad I did. This was one of those shows where it is impossible to drink a beer without some sweaty dancing fool spilling it all down the front of your shirt, so we did the only logical thing and became those sweaty dancing fools. By the end of the show, and at the bands request, most everyone in the place was half naked and helicoptering their shirts over their heads. Highlights of the evening included the band leading the crowd in the 'Capital Cities Shuffle', an amazing cover of Pink Floyd's Time, and extended encore version of their hit song Safe and Sound, and getting to meet the band afterwards. Very cool group of guys and deserving of the success they have enjoyed. These guys are going to be selling out the big venues soon. Highly recommended.
Pretty Lights
Pretty Lights 11/6 at LC Pavilion. This was a sold out show and I could not believe how many people came out to party on a Wednesday. Needless to say for an EDM show, there was more glowsticks than common sense and more club kids than hipsters at a farmers market. This was the 3rd Pretty Lights show I have been to in 2013, and while not his best set, this was memorable for the fact that its the1st time I have seen him accompanied with a live band. Live brass really added to the overall vibe. Overall worth the Thursday morning hangover.
