Matisyahu - Still Worse Than Rock Star Supernova
The HOchies concert year ended on a lowlamp in 2006 thanks to MC and Matisyahu.
2007 began with Or 2 going to see Supernova. The very same Supernova made popular by the reality tv series, "Rock Star". Before you all pass judgment, let it be known that this was not Or 2's choice.
Still, it wasn't a horrible show. At least the opening acts were not horrid. Dilana and Magni (and some dude from Dilana's band, whose name I forget) performed an acoustic set which was decent times.
Australian band, Juke Kartel featuring Toby (a contestant on "Rock Star Supernova" performed as well. Although I cannot remember any song that stood out, Toby himself was hilarious, so that was forgiveable.
The Panic Channel were better than anticipated. Although, I'm still fairly unimpressed (and far from being crazy over them like that Aims, and Steve's no where near as cool as Trent Reznor - yes, you can totally gather this from the picture I've taken)
, it's good to see a good guitarist put down some riffs like nobody's buisness. I mean, he's no Tom Morello but Dave's pretty good...
It was really late once Supernova took the stage. I could have done without the repetitive 'heartfelt' speech Lucas kept giving about how he was nothing and he thanks his fans for making his dreams come true, but I did rather enjoy Sandy Cheeks' gushing over her boy and her jubilant calls of "Luuuuccaaaasss" from the side.
As a whole, I don't think they were fantastic and quite frankly the least entertaining of those who performed that night (because you know, damned Jason Newsted had to go hurt himself and was unable to tour...curse you! Sorry Gilby, Tommy and Black Crowes bassist, but you just weren't) but the light show did blind me a great deal.
That and Tommy Lee with pink tie sans shirt.
Sadly, we had to leave during Tommy's solo set because it was just too damned late and I had a train to catch but I'll say it again -
MC, you owe me.
Matisyahu: still the worst concert ever.

"I've Been Converted!"
...
is what I would be saying had that blasted Matisyahu concert been any good!
In Matisyahu's defense, even though I still don't like his genre of music, I could tell he put on a good show.
You can tell from that picture, right? For some reason that picture really cracks me up.
But as I stated before, thanks to Mitch Connors, my December was ruined! RUINED!
The Lowlamps:
1. The little 15 year old, rich, gansta' wannabees with their "Ohhhh, he's playing our shit!", smoking up, & self-made drama of "fainting" but then passing it off as we "fell asleep" certainly made for a rotten evening.
2. The opening act, Mr. Lif was the worst opener I've seen all year. Or ever. I didn't think anyone would take the place of Seether but I'll be damned. So if you ever see this man and friend,
stay the hell away.
3. The waiting. 6.30 to 8. Horrible Opener then 9 to 11. Oh. the. agony.
The Highlights:
1. SF & MC. SF with the Popcorn. MC's face during the crowd surfing when he almost got killed by some kid and MC's face during the show, proving my point that we never should have been there in the first place.
2. DJ Boo.
3. The really tall kid who couldn't dance. Anyone who wants to see video footage, I will gladly show it or please reference the Seinfeld episode with Elaine's infamous dance. But hey, he was having fun, so that's all that matters.
4. Matisyahu the Monkey. He's very energetic and the climbing was out of control.
There he is climbing from one balcony level to the next.
Ah, climb Monkey Boy. Climb. ( I was actually nervous watching him)
5. The Rocky Theme Song Sung and Mixed with Hebrew.
And just the lights:

November & December 2006: There Was Potential For The Rest of the Year To Be The Greatest In Recent Memory
There's a lot the HOchies have planned between now and the end of the year. These are all things I'm certain will make the blog, so I won't say what they are right now until the good times have been had.
Indeed, the great times that await us are cause for much excitement for all involved...But then Mitch *Connors* had to come along and ruin it by dragging the Giant Kitty and I to Matisyahu on December 16th.
Curse you, Mitch!
