Fall Music Festival, 2003
By Hannah F., West Wing Moderator (Cynicalchick) on Saturday, November 08, 2003 - 2:49 pm:11/7/03. Fall Music Festival 2003, Montevallo, Alabama.
Feat. Andrew WK, Hoobastank, Jump Little Children, and Die Trying.
Evening off on a slightly sour note. I lost my sweatshirt, and my friend & I left 2 hours early so I could get one on the way at the bookstore, and get a camera. Closed. •••••••.
I expected some chairs. The stage is at the top of an unsmooth hill. ••••. Die Trying is warming up (why the •••• do I keep spelling them 'Dy ...'?).
Come on, you warm up the crowd by playing RAP cds?!!
*I'm at the front of the stage, in the center*
Dear Christ, I think they're nu-metalish. And teen boys. The bassist ••••••• rocks, though.
Christ, this rapper SAMPLED "Time After Time." What the holy ••••? Now TIMBERLAKE? Will someone please shoot me?
Die Trying
(I wrote this in my book as 'Die Little Children'...heheh. Oopsie)
Initial impression: okay.
Sounds like Chevelle, but..not.
I don't know where it went wrong, but quite frankly, that sucked. I liked some of it, but the rest was just baad.
Jump Little Children
Singer: guitar (electric and acoustic)
Bassist: bass guitar, cello, violin
Guitarist: guitar, accordion, harmonica
Drummer: three guesses
And one other....hmm.
Wow. That's all. Just wow. Indie rock, but not. Just...cooler.
Look online for "When You Fall Apart" and "Cathedrals."
Andrew WK
They play a little metal to rile the crowd. The roadies are fuckin' slow. Now I'm at the front of the stage, not a foot from the AWK fanatics. The band starts, and I'm continually trampled, elbowed, and stomped. *pops Tylenol* Twas fun.
These guys have a new fan. They're real crowd-friendly. Andy, the singer *cute*, squirted water on the crowd occasionally. At the end, they pulled about 15 fans onstage (there was a wall and 10 feet of space between the crowd and the stage).
Hoobastank
WOW. They may sound nu-metalish, but they ••••••• blew me away.
They're like Rammstein--heavy guitar, big on drums. I can hardly hear the singer, but who cares? He's pretty.
"Meet the Band"
I get the Hoobastank singer's autograph. Rowr. He's sweet.
I get in line for Andrew WK. I think the man is writing his life story for everyone. Lord. So I run over about 150 feet, and get *everyone's* John Hancocks. The Hoobastank bassist likes my Pink Floyd shirt! Weee!
So I *finally* meet Andy. Hott. REALLY nice guy, answered my questions. They're Rammstein fans! Andy met Richard (lead guitarist); apparently, he's a real nice guy.
So look online for shows, because DUDE!
