Concert Throwback: Phantogram

These past couple weeks I’ve been jamming almost non-stop to Phantogram. If you follow me anywhere on my socials, and even here, I’m sure you already know that I really like them a lot. They are one of the few bands I’ve seen in multiple states (on purpose), and they are truly amazing live (and recorded, obviously). My first opportunity to see them was in Pittsburgh, and I’ve also seen them in Cleveland, Columbus, and Las Vegas at the Life if Beautiful festival. Each time was fantastic, but at the Pittsburgh show my friend and I were able to snag the front row and it was fabulous! I was also introduced to another great band at that show called Jagwar Ma (check them out!!). The Columbus show was also really memorable because I snagged a setlist and was able to meet the band and gift them with a drawing! One of my favorite concert moments of all time hands down.

Concert Throwback: One Direction

Today marks the tenth year since pop boy band One Direction was formed, and even though they burned out after five years, and I was a freshman in college, I still loved them deeply and was lucky enough to catch them in concert once. My heart! A friend and I snagged tickets almost a year in advance, and then an hour before showtime I checked a resale site only to find ninth row floor seats for dirt cheap! Clearly, we snagged them up, and compared to the nosebleed seats we originally bought, it was like a dream come true. They sounded so good and had a delightfully long set. It was bliss! Even though I had a great seat, my camera phone was crap, so you’re just going to have to deal with what I’ve got. I hope that someday they all reunite and tour, because I’ll be all over that!

TBT: The Concert Series – frnkiero andthe cellabration

Since I don’t foresee any more concerts happening in the US this year, I figured I’d reminisce about the good old times, and talk about some older shows I’ve been to (which would be A LOT since this blog started even). On this first throwback, I’m taking us all back to 2015, where I got the closest to seeing My Chemical Romance I may ever get (but hopefully not, though). That’s right, in a little old venue called the Grog Shop, I got to see frnkiero andthe cellabration!

Concert Review: Band of Brothers Tour with Magic Giant and American Authors

The concerts keep rolling in, and this time, I got my favorite concert buddy and her husband to go with me! They’ve been out of the concert loop for a little bit, so I’ve vowed to get them back in the swing of things. To start it off, we went and saw the Band of Brothers Tour which featured co-headliners, Magic Giant and American Authors!
