Sunday night Ali, Leslie, Misty, Ted (and a number of their friends) all made it out to see Hard-Fi and Hijack the Disco!

As you know, we LOVE the Hijack boys… seriously I’m kinda in love with each & every one of them. Not only are they absolutely amazing musicians, but they’ve all become good friends that I look forward to hanging out with!

They played a ton of new songs in their set, but it was fun because Ali & Leslie had never seen them (despite hanging out with a few of them at my parties), so it was fun that a few of the songs were new to all 3 of us! I can’t wait to get their new album!

Hijack the Disco‘s Dave (vox/guitar), Trevor (drums) and Mike (vox/bass)

Trevor & Mike were sportin stache’s for fun (they grew them for this show & then shaved them off the next morning! ha!), which irked Misty to the hilt, but provided endless fun for them to taunt her with them. hahaa! For the record, I am not anti-stache. Misty, on the other hand, is TOTALLY anti-stache. I’m making you a t-shirt, Misty! hahaa

And while we’re on the topic of how we prefer the hair on our men, I just want to say I love mohawks and if you’d consider getting a mohawk for me (and it won’t look hideous on you), then I already like you. I’m pro-mohawk!

OK, so we all pretty much chatted through Send for Help’s set. I like their music, but I’m there with Misty that they just don’t seem to pull me in live. ah well… gave us a chance to talk to the hott & sweaty Hijack boys. haha! Oh, and I got to go into the green room w/ Trevor which (being the fan girl that I am, I get all excited about things like this) makes now makes it Cafe du Nord, Bottom of the Hill & Bimbos that I’ve seen the backstage/green rooms of. Ya, I know, I’m a dork… but when you love music and shows as much as I do, it’s fun to see the *other side*! hahaa.

Hard-Fi went on & impressed us all! They were great! It was incredible how many songs we knew of theirs – thanks to Ted/Bagel Radio playing them all the time, and having them on his compilations! woohoo!! I actually even thought they’d done a few covers, I knew the songs so well… but now that I listen to them again & look up the songs, I realized they are theirs! I even mentioned this to Ted, and I’m sure he was like “what the HELL is she talking about?!” Hi, I’m a dork. hahaa. Anyway- they were great, you’ve got to check them out!

Hard-Fi

Here’s all my photos from the evening, and here’s Misty’s post & photos, and Ted has his photos up, too! Ted’s photos are much better, because he’s not afraid to look like a total pro photographer with his big fat camera. So he goes right up there AND uses the flash! :) I need to remember to at least take a few flash shots… the red light makes it hard to get good ones.

Anyway – it was a blast! Check out both these bands asap. They’re awesome.

UPDATE: I almost forgot, I shot 2 vids, too. Sound will be crappy – but I like video’s because at least you an see the people moving! :) Here’s a video of Hijack the Disco & a video of Hard-Fi.
