Fashion show at Pop's?

For the past two weeks Mandi and Jane have been pressuring me into going to Bring Me The Horizon with Bury Your Dead at Pop's and with the events of this past weekend I said, "Why not?" So we show up and I swear to you, it was the same six people over and over again. I laughed, real hard. It felt like a huge fashion show with most of the kids wearing something along the lines of a black cutoff t-shirt with "HIGH VOLTAGE HEAVY METAL" printed on the back. Oh yeah.
The bands:
Some random band from St. Louis that made me laugh extremely hard considering their frontman kept mentioning 50 cent and tore off his tall tee to expose an airsoft bullet-proof vest. Entertaining. Needless to say they didn't get much applause.
This Hollywood Machine who always put on a great show. No matter what I will always love these boys, they're super hillarious. All of them (except youngin Will who's 17) are over 21 and love zombies. They only like to play music, read The Zombie Survival Guide, play Zombies, and read comic books. Plus they're all so musically talented; guitarists Justin and Tim are twins that have been playing together from the start, bassist Aaron is just amazing he really puts his all into it, drummer Will knows how to throw out them beats. I really don't have an opinion on this new vocalist, he can scream I'll give him that.
Next was Nights Like This (or Nights Like These, I can't remember) they had a different sound. I liked it a lot. It can only be described as mellow heavy. It made me smile.
The next band I wanted to shoot, I didn't care to know their name.
Bring Me The Horizon was epic, yes epic. First of all, british accents. Secondly, good hair. And most important, they sound just as good if not better live than on their record. Oliver was so hype, he put his all into it and that's all I needed to see. The crowd I hated, but I dealt with it. I don't know, all in all they made me smile. They need to come back asap, but being from the UK it probably won't be for a while.
I left before Bury Your Dead.


What happened to my writing?
It's so unorganized.

"Don't Let Them See You Cry" by Manchester Orchestra
By far my favorite song right now.
