Friday night shows at the Beachland.
Once again, Ryan and I ventured out on a cold rainy night in Cleveland suburbia to one of our new favorite places to see shows, the Beachland Ballroom. It has been an excellent way to for us to see some "bigger" named artist at a fraction of the cost, of say, the House of Blues or Tower City. With that being said, last night is no exception to the Beachland's stellar track record. We had an awesome time listening to The Republic Tigers and Yourself & the Air. Both bands were good, but I do have to admit that I'm glad that TRTs played last. They played almost all of the tracks that Ryan and I wanted to hear. They also played Ryan's favorite song, The Nerve, for the encore. Yes, I said encore. After the show Ryan and I caught up with Kenn, the lead singer. He informed me that the last song they played before the encore was an unrecorded song and it will be on the their upcoming album. I have to say that it was probably my favorite song of the entire set. This really has me jazzed for the next album, which he said would be released sometime in the spring of 2010.
I was able to pick up some merch as well. The UK Tour EP, which is only available at shows is fantastic. Their t-shirts were fantastic as well.
