Theory of a Deadman Concert Pictures @ Orpheum Theatre

My second concert this week! I went to see Theory of a Deadman last night at the Orpheum (a very odd venue choice!). Because it was a smaller theatre, the bass was blasting out over the speakers and my whole body was vibrating. It was pretty intense! I'm not too familiar with most of TOADM songs, but I did recognize some from the radio and it was a really fun concert. Here are some pictures and videos.

Opening act, I didn't catch the name.

They came on stage at 8.

Is that a ukelele??!

The boys played some acoustic songs.

"Cause I'm a lowlife..."

"Santa Monicaaaa...!"

He totally picked up a joint that someone threw on stage.

As usual, here's a video of one of their songs, All or Nothing. Check out my Youtube channel for more videos!

Allstar Weekend Concert Pictures @ The Vogue

I went to the Allstar Weekend concert on Friday night. To tell you truth, I have no clue who they are. I had to redeem a code for any concert ticket but the selection was very limited so I settled on this one. There were several opening acts: Hollywood Ending, Before You Exit and The After Party, and I have never heard of any of them. It was very tween boy band type stuff, but here are some pictures and videos anyway.

Hollywood Ending

This guy totally reminds me of this girl I know...but a guy.

Before You Exit - Don't you think he looks like Justin Beiber?

The After Party

Twins!

That's a nice drum set.

They spun a wheel to decide which song to sing next.

Allstar Weekend pulled some of the audience up on stage and this lucky girl got to sing a duet with the lead singer.

And of course, I took some videos of all the bands. Here's the only song I know from Allstar Weekend - Not Your Birthday. They actually sound really out of tune when they're singing it. You really should listen to their studio recording for a better version. Check out my Youtube channel for more concert videos!
