I'll dance up a storm; sure life's looking fine!

Thanks to the gracious hospitality of Mr. Trey Hastings, Dustin and I had the opportunity to see Flogging Molly at Rams Head Live in Baltimore last night, playing with the Architects out of Kansas City, Missouri and Frank Turner from Winchester, England.

To be completely honest, I was not sure what to expect from The Architects as I was not impressed by their selection of music present on their MySpace and it left much to be desired. Their set was a pleasant surprise. They were all dressed nice in their button down t-shirts and dress pants and were full of energy. The songs they played were upbeat, fast. New favorite band officially, and I found my new boyfriend (which is why Dustin hated them). Definitely worth checking out. I'd catch their live videos on YouTube rather than checking them out on MySpace. The songs on there leave much to be desired. I also have their bassists pick...a.k.a. my new boyfriend.

Following The Architects was a gentleman by the name of Frank Turner. While his music is not personally my taste, it wasn't the worst thing I've ever heard. Only like 3 people knew the lyrics and this pre-pubescent boy had a total hard-on for them. Unfortunately, his music was a bit less energetic (I don't know if that's the word that I want), but when The Architects left the stage and he started playing it was kind of a let down. (A. Bruns- it was like Suburban Legends playing than West Bound Train, if you catch my drift.) Anyways, if you're into folksy-ish sounding music from a guy with a British accent, check him out.

Last, but most certainly not least, Flogging Molly. Need I say more? They were awesome and I'm glad I got to see them for more than the forty-five minutes that Warped Tour alloted last summer.

All in all, a fabulous concert. I wouldn't expect anything less from Rams Head Live.
