Sean Bonnette of Andrew Jackson Jihad
So the show tonight at Cafe Metropolis in Wilkes-Barre, PA was a good time. Great music, awesome energy, and lovely people. And everyone sweating a great deal. But that's part of what makes a show at a small venue so fucking charming (you know, everyone sharing their DNA and such). So for those of you who couldn't make it, here's the rundown... The Greek Favourites played first and got everybody hot and bothered (oh, you know they did), then this guy named Greg (AKA These Elk Forever) brought everybody's heart rate down about twenty notches (in a good way) with a few mellow tunes on his guitar. Afterward, Delay, hailing from good ol' Columbus, Ohio, radiated what can only be described as a mixture of gusto and perspiration (mostly gusto) from every pore, for everybody to see and hear. Those kids can rock.
And last but certainly not least, Andrew Jackson Jihad (folk-punksters outta Phoenix, Arizona) did their thing. And what a thing that is. It's energetic, anthemic, and from the sounds of nearly every soul in the audience singing along in time with Sean and Ben, you can tell that this is a band that unifies people. And isn't that just what music's supposed to do? I'd say so, and if you don't agree, then you suck. And I'm sorry.
I was enjoying the show far too much to bring myself to reach for my camera and take more than one picture or video, so all apologies. But here's "People" by Andrew Jackson Jihad. Forgive the sub-par video sound quality and try to enjoy it, eh? Okay.
