Modwheelmood @ El Corazon

Yup... I went to this show yesterday. I can't believe it came and went so fast. I guess part of the reason it arrived here so fast was because I wasn't obsessing over it as much as say, seeing NIN, but I have to say, it was a kickass little show.

Read on for epicness and win (and pictures of Ally ;D) --->

Okay, the venue they played in, El Corazon, was really small. I'm sure that if a band with a larger fanbase played there, it could get quite uncomfortable (which is probably the reason for most people's complaints about the place), but no more than 35 / 40 people showed up for Modwheelmood, so it was pretty sweet. However, the best part was definitely their relaxed camera policy. I wish all concerts were like that.

There were two bands that played before mwm. I didn't bother to take any pictures of the first act (which i can't remember the name of anyways). He just pretended to play his overly-distorted guitar as pre-recorded tracks played in the background and porn flashed on the screen. It kind of scared me.

Thankfully after he finished his [somewhat long] set we actually got to see a real band play: The Crying Spell. I have to admit, they did look rather emo/poser, but they were actually okay. I stole their setlist after the show.

Soundcheck

This guy was pretty BA

They were pretty cool, but everyone gladly welcomed Modwheelmood to the stage. They didn't start playing till 11 pm (we got there at 9, and I didn't even know there were 2 opening bands to sit through first).

Soundcheck

Pelle. I think I only got like... 3 pictures of him lol

They had a drummer with them (I can't remember his name though)

Ally

I love the colours in this one

:)

some guy kept telling Ally that he loved him, and Ally was like "....OKAY"

No buchla, but he had his little.... box :) (during Problem Me)

I also took several videos (sound quality isn't amazing, but they're still worth watching ;) ). So come watch them here:

Yesterday
Things Will Change
Problem Me
Scared of Everyone

I also stole their setlist, haha. I was so excited when I saw they were playing Scared of Everyone! Such a good song. And of course, after the concert, I got re-addicted to their music... and discovered how good Delay Lama and Crumble are!

...And I got a poster autographed :D (I got another picture with him, but I look extremely retarded, so I'm not posting it.)

See! Legit autograph..

Aghhhhh, I really want to see them if they ever come back. Even if it's on a school night again (I got 5 hours of sleep that night... and barely any the night before, so I've been dead all week). Next concert is... Tori Amos. July!

It took me like two days to write this, in between homework and stuff. I think I need to go finish my math now...

I LOVE YOU MWM
