1930 that night

The fifth of may is a bankholiday in mexico which the americans celebrate more than the mexicans. In every bar you'll find a cinco de mayo party. So I was prepared for a night full of burritos. I know, it could be worth. But than one event crossed my burrito plan and I have to say: Thank god.

I was sitting in the office and took a few minutes to check out concerts on the internet. Guess what I found! There was a gaslight anthem concert and it started on the same day when I was locking for it. It was four pm when I was locking and the doors opend at seven pm. I freaked out and went to a colleague to share my luck. He had no idea what I was talking about. But that didn't matter to me. I called the concert place and they told me that I can still get tickets at the door. I missed the gaslight anthem in germany already and I gonna miss them again in june, when they support one of my favourite bands: Social Distortion!
I coulnd't believe my luck and after work I drove to this concert place, which was actually very cool. In the pictures you can see that I was very close to them. I was standing quite close to the stage.
There were two supports. I'm sorry that I can't remember their names. But the first one was cool. Not so the second one. They really sucked.
There is a picture from the first support and a picture with me and their singer. I met him after the concert and he was a nice guy. Also he was very surprised to meet somebody from germany on his concert in the states. Here are the pictures.

I know, it looks like I met one of the ewoks :-) small, hairy and funny looking

There is nothing to say about the second band. Apart from that everybody was waiting for them to finish.
Now it's time to show you some the pictures of the gaslight anthem.

I like this picture,

cause the guitar is so yellow

The first song

The concert stared and the crowd went crazy! Look at the guy with the orange shirt. He has an invisible mic in his hand. Awesome!


Let me indroduce the guys, cause they deserve it!

The new BOSS:

Brian Fallon:

vocals/guitar

Alex Levine: bass

Alex Rosamilia: guitar

Benny Horowitz: drums

The concert was one of the best concerts I've ever seen. I was so looking forward to see them since I heard them for the first time. They are really good on stage and the songs are even better than on cd. The only thing that made me sad this night was, that I was alone. I missed my wife. I can enjoy every concert even more, when I'm with her. Ok, apart from a broilers concert. But anyway that would be weird, if she would like them.
Here are two more pictures and a little video of the song 1930.


He likes the right shoes!

Enjoy the song:
