but-but-but-but nothing but the rear bumper's blown



So I want to talk about the Why? concert I attended on saturday. It was pretty much amazing....I throw that word around a lot but that is because their are a lot of talented musicians out there and I haven't spent much time looking in a thesaurus. How about grand or glorious and sublime and fantastical? I guess... but amazing just feels right.
Anyway I walk through the doors of the venue and it feels pretty empty besides the crowd in the beer garden who I feel was glaring at me knowing I would be joining them in a matter of days (legally).
I wait for about 20 minutes just wandering around, then the lights dim.....a universal signal.
Someone walks onto the rather small stage and starts messing around with mic's. I can't tell if its a guy or girl if I'm being honest. Then I realize it's a woman and she is the first performer. She only said her band name once during her entire act and you could barely hear her. Luckily the next band confirmed her name was Tender Forever. I highly recommend her music. She has an angelic voice and passionate lyrics. She is also quite hilarious and clever. My mind was blown when she got out controller's for her Wii and electronically played the drums.
The next band was not as great. the dj was insane and I could tell he was talented but the "rapper" was just....all wrong.
And for the good part. Why?
oh yes they were what you would expect. INSANE.
I would say that the Hollows was probably the most insane to hear live.
they were also some crazy people who I would never expect to see and then there were definitely some people who I for sure expected to see.
This is getting lazy so Im gonna stop.
