Okay, so before I start this thing off, lets just say that the gig was about 2 hours drive away, I only went to see Hollywood Undead and Silverstein and Seb is my boyfriend...but it's really complicated between us so we won't go there.

So anyway, me and Seb got picked up from college in the afternoon and my mum drove us to Yeovil, where the gig venue was.  Wwhen we got inside the venue, they checked my bag and made me surrender my liquid eyeliner, body spray and comb (wtf?  What am I gonna do with a comb, stab somebody?), then we went into the main room.  Surprisingly, not many people were actually there then, only about 40 or so. 

Anyway, the Urgency came out - they were pretty good considering I'd never heard any of their music before.  After their set was over, me and Seb went out for a cigarette, and got talking to a couple of girls - one of which was fucking 12 years old!!!  The minimum age limit was 14.  But yeah, so then we went back inside and watched Hollywood Undead - me and Seb love their stuff so we screamed along every song, and when Seb wasn't behind me with his arms around me, he was in the moshpits.After their set was over, we went outisde for another cigarette and Seb started talking to some guys he "met" in the moshpits.  I think he made a few new friends (that he'll probably never see again)...he certainly came back with a few girls mobile numbers.

When we got inside Silverstein had just started playing so me and Seb each bought a bottle of water (they took the lids off the bottles - again with the stupid scratching thing) and Seb tipped some of his over my head, so I tipped half of mine down my bra ;)  Silverstein weren't actually as good as I thought though...I kinda found them a bit too...I don't know, I just couldn't get into them.  So basically we moshed all the way through Silverstein's set.  After they were done playing, we went outside yet again and talked to some more people.  When we heard cheering inside, we went back in to find the Blackout had just started playing!  For their set, we were moshing at times, at others we just stood and watched.  The Blackout were really good - I thought they sounded a bit pop-rock-y, but they weren't - they were more screamo than I imagined.

So.  After the bands had finished playing, we went over to the merch table and I bought a Hollywood Undead tee and a The Blackout one, and we both got our tickets signed - and photos taken - with Sean Smith (the Blackout) and someone from Hollywood Undead.  Then we went outside and found the lead singer of The Urgency signing autographs - we got our tickets signed by and photos taken with him as well, and talked to him for a bit - and he was really nice.  Check them out on myspace, they need more support.

Basically then, that was our night.  I discovered that when you go to a gig with a mate/boyfriend then you actually get a chance to get things signed!

Silverstein's cover of "Apologize" by One Republic is now posted to the Punk Goes Pop 2 Myspace!

Look for the next song premiere on January 27th and check out what vocalist Shane Told had to say about being on the compilation:

"We are super excited to be a part of Punk Goes Pop 2.  We had a blast recording "Red Light Pledge" for the Punk Goes Acoustic  2 so we jumped at the chance to record a song for this one.

The interesting thing is that even though we've been a band for 9 years, we've never really done any covers.  The only one we did was a cover of Lifetime's "Rodeo Clown" for a tribute album that never came out.  Most bands start out doing some covers before they write their own songs, but we jumped right into originals.

When we had to choose a song, there was a million we talked about doing, but we all agreed that "Apologize" would be rad.  It was a song we all secretly rocked out to, a total guilty pleasure.  It's super catchy, it's the kind of song you hear once and it's instantly stuck in your head.  I also met One Republic one time and they were really nice.  I hope they don't think we ruined their song :).

I'm super excited to hear what our friends bands have done, especially Bayside and A Day To Remember.  I can't wait to get this CD in my hands.

We had so much fun recording this that we decided to do some other covers as well.  We're almost done recording our new album and we're going to have some B-Side cover songs as well.  Check that out on March 31st!

Peace and Love,


Shane // Silverstein"

Blame it on the weather, but i'm a mess
and this february darkness. has me hating everyone
and i know i give you comfort, but this trouble makes me sick
and the longer i lay here, i know it's harder to get up
without you
[chorus]
lose another day here
lose another year here
i'm with you
find me something out there, that's making sense
and it's just another trend carefully hidden in your dress
and the cycles neverending, and the fashions overdone
and the further that i run away, the further i'll come back
to shelter...
[chorus]
you are the fire, on my apartment floor
sixteen stories, i'd rather burn then fall
it isn't fate, that took us all by storm
it's just the turn of a card
[chorus]
you are the fire, on my apartment floor
sixteen stories, i'd rather burn then fall
it isn't fate, that took us all by storm
it's just the turn of a card
goodbye old friend
goodbye goodnight
i'll move on
you'll call it fate, i'll call it karma
we had our time, it was fun
while it lasted
i'll look back, with honor
and no regrets
i won't be mad, won't feel bad
these memories will never leave me
don't be sad
cause life goes on, life goes on
it's getting too late
tomorrow is here

I fully love this song it's beautiful......

PS: If you like my weekly coloumns and you really like a band/celebrity, give me their myspace ( band) or a bit of info on them..... thanx!!

 

MalloryBreakMyHeart xoxo !Happy New Year! <333

So... last night, I was going to get those 'Stein lyrics done, only I went to the bank to discover that it was a Sunday night and my ATM card didn't work. Classy.

So I called up my mum, and she told me to deliver her cheque to her an hour away near Ann Arbor. I told her that if I did, she had to pay for my gas to go to the Silverstein show, and she agreed, which rocks. So anyway, I drive out there (while messaging people from my blackberry and driving with my knees), and when I get to my mom's friend's house, no one is home, so I have to wait on the freezing cold porch for like... an hour. Which was funnish.

So dinner there was really good. I showed my mom my new tattoo. Squirrley!!! She was like, "Stop getting tattoos!!!!" and I was like, erm... no? Before bed we watched Detroit Rock City online. I love the internet.

Anyway, I went to bed at 2 and woke up at 7:30, then stayed in bed until 8:00, until it got too annoying. So then I got up and had the rest of the soy milk for breakfast and then we left. My mother hates it when I drive with my knees, and especially when I surf the web while driving... so for sure I was doing it.

When we got back, we went to the bank and cashed her cheque. I took out an extra $100 for a tattoo, then went to pay the GED people for my test in cash due to the fact that the cheque wouldn't clear in enough time since the tests are wednesday and thursday. After that, I went to the tattoo parlor and told John what I wanted. I managed to get $60 off the original price. Go me.



Isn't it preetty with all the icky goo still on it? Yum.

After that, I went to the mall with my mum to look for jobs, which went well. There was a super cute manager at Hot Topic, and they're hiring. Squee.

So after that, we went back to my parents' house and I had dinner there and made my cat's collar before coming back home. I'm pretty tired, so I'll probably go to bed pretty soon and wake up super early.
