Monday night's concert - The Last Goodnight

Yup, still behind on the blogging front, but eh, at least I'm getting it the same week....right? Ok, back to the concert.

The Last Goodnight are an amazing band all the way from Connecticut. Had the privilage of seeing/meeting them back in July when they and Sara Bareilles opened up for Rocco Deluca on his headlining tour. They're a fun band, slightly poppy rock, but don't be fooled, these guys are seriously amazing musicians.

There were some opening bands...not really sure the names except for one. Got to the Fat Cat and it sounded like someone was being tortured! Ok, slight exaggeration, but not the music my ears were wanting to be subjected to. Hung outside, talked to people I knew, made friends with the security guards. The last opening band, La Rocca...great guys from Ireland who know how to play and play well! They are an amazing band, and they have great accents! Check out their music! http://www.myspace.com/laroccamusic

Then came The Last Goodnight! *insert happy dance here*

I honestly don't remember the setlist...was far too busy dancing around/singing along/snapping up pics and videos to write anything down. But as always, they were amazing. I mean seriously, you have the lead singer Kurtis who has an amazing voice, Leif on bass, Mike on lead guitar, Anton providing backup vocals and guitar, Ely on keyboards..and well usually Skeeter on drums, but due to a family emergency, he wasn't able to be there, but their producer Jeff Blue kindly stepped in and kept the beat going.

The venue was great, and even though there was a small crowd (only about 50 or so) I'd say it was the best show I'd seen from them! The guys were great and stayed around after, talking to everyone and just having a great time. If you haven't already, check them out http://www.myspace.com/thelastgoodnight

Will try to put up videos/photos maybe later.
