Well what can I say about this show. Some good points, many many bad points. Crowd seemed to be at an average age of just about 15 years of age, and it showed. Half the time it was more like a daycare than a show. The singer from YSP!WSD! didn't help matters much by saying something along the lines of ["people are getting squished up front, there are ppl with nowhere to go and I want them on stage"]. An invitation for rowdiness that carried on the blood brothers set. This wouldn't be a problem except that kids started standing on stage, unplugging monitors/instruments, which led to delays in the show. So much in fact that 2 songs had to be cut from the set, amulance and the encore. With that being said the show was amusing to watch, plus the blood brothers played a couple of new songs. Youthful energy is refreshing, but what about the people on the floor with the now obstructed view. (mesa luna doesn't have that great of sightlines to begin with) I dont' think they paid for this. Security looked pissed. This just gives all-ages shows a bad name.
so far:
hardcore kids>club scenesters>drunk chicks/fratboys>all-ages highschool kids>skidges
