venue: the independent artist: the rosebuds, jonah ray & magic bullets
who: ro
when: the day after my 34th (monday)
this is the second time this year that ro & i saw the rosebuds. earlier this year, it was at noise pop. this time, it was for the release of their album, life like. which is quite good.
i really liked the rosebuds before but now, i think i ♥ them. not only is their music awesome, but they are too, as individuals. their songs are catchy, danceable, and complete with clever lyrics. whenever i hear get up get out or cemetery lawns in my car, i break out in a dance. that's right, in my car. on top of that, they always seem to put me in a good mood.
the show was unfortunately scheduled on the monday before thanksgiving holiday so there weren't a whole lot of people out. on the one hand, this is great because we got fabulous seats. and on the other hand, as ro said, they deserved better than a mediocre turnout. but you couldn't tell that it effected them at all. and if it were a full house, would kelly had been able to come down to the crowd and dance with them? no, i think not. then again, i think she would have tried even if it were a sold out crowd. you know why? because she is the bomb. ivan is ok too. ha.
there was more interaction with the crowd that i've witnessed (& participated in) than most shows i've been too. perhaps, the most interaction. they are so down to earth and awesome. i just can't say enough about them.
rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ in case you didn't notice, this confirms my kelly-girl-crush. see below for another reason to love them.
