Saw glassJaw sunday night.. Talk about amazing!
Left my camera in the car so.. no pictures.
Their new EP is kinda disappointing. If you haven't heard it don't buy it. Its nothing like them at all. Every song is slow and very boring. Im bummed.
They did give it away for free at the show tho, which is pretty amazing... and it makes me laugh a lot because the local bands in this area (a couple of which i have friends in, but i hate their bands) charge up to $5 for their shitty demos.
(Im going to rant right now; it has nothing to do with anything and i might be in such a hurry you might not even get it, so if you want, you can pass over it :3)
You can really weed out the good local bands around here when they are giving their demos away for free and only charging $5 a shirt because they want kids to hear their music and see kids wearing their shit.
Not like some bands who are playing the same shows and are only just as popular as the rest of them but are charging 10 to 20 dollars a shirt and 3 to 5 dollars a demo. IF was in a band, i wouldn't charge kids anything to hear our music, (that is if i was a local band since when you hit it big thats what you get aid to do)
Im talking about 2 local bans in my area. Im friends with almost everyone in both of the bands but still. The first band, charges about $5 for demos and also put their song on i tunes for people to but, BUT they also started asking people, well almost demanding, to give them moon, out of nowhere so they could buy a van... Keep in mind that they range from 16 to 23 and NONE of them have a job.
The second band is just like every other band around here, they have the same fan base, everything.. JUST another local band... but recently, people haven't been seeing them at shows because NOW they are only playing PAID shows... yep, paid. Not only that, but they have a "manager" aka, a kid thats about 14 who's from.. yelp you guessed it, ANOTHER local band!
Maybe this dosnt make any sense to you guys because you don't know how bad these bands are or who im talking about... but it just KILLS me how great bands like glassjaw can give away free demos and shitty local bands cant, i mean i understand you need the money for the band, but i have no sympathy when your over 18 years old and nobody in your band has a job!
sorry about my ranting
Since my Mac will be broken forever!! Prepare for my blogs to be fewer then they normally are!
Sorry, but i love you :3
XOXOXOXO
