The Presidents ROK'd THE HOUSE DOWN.
by SolitaryBells on 2/25/10Showbox at the Market - SeattleThe Presidents of the United States of America are by FAR the best band I have ever seen perform live. Chris's giddy attitude and hilarious personality made the whole experience a whole lot better than I thought it would. The whole band was absolutely hysterical. I laughed my ass off when they played the 2nd song: "Kitty" and everybody below the stage started bouncing along with the beat. I'm usually not the type to be that crazy during concerts, but this song just made me want to attempt a massive dive into the crowd. Aw, man. After the band performed, the band came back out for an encore. Little did we all know that the lead singer- Chris, would GET MARRIED. Oh yeah...on stage, on Valentine's Day, at midnight. Definitely something I didn't expect at the end of the performance. Well...actually...it wasn't the end of the performance. They kept playing through the night up to the point when my legs got too tired and we had to leave. God only knows how long they kept playing after we left... Of course, in every concert there are the flaws that come to mind. No chairs. That bothered me quite a bit. I had to sit down occasionally to prevent the sudden feeling of faintiness during the performance. The crowds also got to me, and made it harder to move around or even sit on the floor. The band still kicked tons of ass regardless of MY OWN problems. The opening band was...eh. "BOAT", I believe. They were alright but I felt that as time passed by, their music eventually turned to plain noise. Nevertheless, a great concert indeed. From what I could see, (My view was pretty close considering we were at the Showbox; a BAR in other words where everybody stood no further than 50 feet away from the stage... ) the band was perfect, and I would love to go see them again sometime. ROK ON! >:D
