Endsession w/ Crash Kings

Lucky me! I got to attend another free show put on by 107.7 The End! This show featured Crash Kings and they were amazing!! The venue was a little odd (read my previous post about the casino), but it kind of kept the crowds down and it ended up being a very intimate show. Ok, it was either the venue or the fact that it was 3:00pm on a Tuesday. Aah, the perks of being unemployed. Maybe just the one perk. Anyway, there was about three rows worth of people, and I got front and center! I snapped some good photos of the stage pre-show, but unfortunately, no photos were allowed during the show. That was okay though because I couldn't take my eyes off these guys! I was interested to see how a band worked out without a guitarist. Especially cause I swore I could hear guitar in their songs. The dude plays guitar on a piano! Call me stupid, but I had no idea that piano-guitars (complete with whammy bar) existed! Not to mention, he can play his keyboard AND the piano-guitar at the same time. This guy is awesome. They are ALL awesome. This band is fairly new, but are definitely going to be around for awhile. I have to say, I am loving the whole piano rock thing (and it's 100x better than SoCo). I really think these guys could possibly be better live than they are on their album. The Endsession was rather short, but their performance convinced me to drive to the Showbox and purchase a ticket to their show later that evening. Plus I got to meet them and got their autographs. Super nice guys. Check out their self-titled album featuring their hit "Mountain Man". Love them!
