Dirty Work Tour

Hey, everyone! Today is April 13, 2011 and it is a Wednesday. I'm here to tell you about a concert that I've been talking about during my previous posts. As you all should know, All Time Low and a couple other great bands went on tour. The tour is called The Dirty Work Tour and I was lucky enough to get tickets to their performance on April 2, 2011! Read further to hear the details. I'll start out this blog post by telling you all the song of the day! The song of the day today is 'What You're Thinkin'' by Transmit Now. Transmit Now is a new band that I heard for the first time at the Dirty Work concert, actually. I'll tell you more about them when I tell you all about the concert in the music update. This song is my favorite on their album and the first song I've ever heard written by them. Go check it out, tell your friends about them, download that song and other songs by their band on iTunes, like them on Facebook, and help them out since they're a new band! They are amazing, I promise! Now, it's time for the random music fact of the day. Today's random music fact is about Cristofer Drew from NeverShoutNever. Chris rarely showers and picks out one outfit to wear for a month. That fact was pretty gross, but at least it was interesting! Anyway, that was the random fact of the day. Next is the most important part of this blog post... The music update! As I said earlier, today's music update is all about The Dirty Work Tour concert that I went to. The first thing that happened, obviously, was standing in line. Usually that's boring, but while I was in line for this particular concert, I met a band that I actually talked about earlier in this post. I met Transmit Now. I had never heard of their music, but their merch girl let me listen to 'What You're Thinkin'' on her iPod. After I listened to that song, I knew I had to buy their new album. This amazing album is titled 'Downtown Merry-Go-Round' and I suggest you go buy it in stores, download it on iTunes, and check it out! I did end up buying it, and I'm glad I did.. They are so talented! After waiting in line for a while, the doors finally opened. We headed to the stage and watched as they set up. Finally, The Summer Set came on stage and performed. They were really fun to watch! They played about 6 songs, most of which were from their album 'Love Like This' that was released in 2009. They did play a new song, though, and it was called 'Someone Like You'. After they played their songs, they talked about their new album that will be coming out this summer and it will be titled 'Everything's Fine'. They played songs like 'Young', 'Chelsea', 'The Boys You Do', 'Punch-Drunk Love', and more. Then, Hey Monday performed. They also played about 6 songs, some of them from their recent EP, 'Beneath It All', but they performed songs from older albums, too. They are currently working on a new album, too, just like The Summer Set, but they haven't announced any names yet. They played songs like 'Candles', 'I Don't Wanna Dance', 'How You Love Me Now', 'Wondergirl', and more. After Hey Monday, Yellowcard played. Since they were co-headlining the tour with All Time Low, they played about 10 song. Some of the songs were from their new album that I talked about in my last post, 'When You're Through Thinking Say Yes', and some songs were from their older albums. They played songs like 'Breathing', 'Light Up The Sky', 'The Sound Of You And Me', 'Ocean Avenue', and more. Finally, All Time Low performed. They played about 17 songs. Most of the songs were from old albums, and only two were from their soon-to-be new album, 'Dirty Work'. The songs that will be on 'Dirty Work' were 'Time-Bomb' and 'Paper Moon'. They were both amazing songs. 'Time-Bomb' has already been recorded and released, but 'Paper Moon' has not. It used to be called 'Under A Paper Moon', but they changed the name. Their performance was fascinating and I enjoyed it a lot. You could see Jeffree Star on the side of the stage, too, which made me go crazy since I'm a huge Jeffree Star fan. While All Time Low was playing their last song, we headed to the merch stand in the back. We met Vinny Vegas, All Time Low's merch guy, and I bought a T-shirt. He was too busy to take pictures, but meeting him was fun. When we were leaving, we walked out behind Jeffree Star. Unfortunately, I didn't realize it was him until he started to turn into the VIP section. That was totally random, but it was special to me! The concert was overall really fun and all the bands did great! I'll definitely be seeing All Time Low in concert next time they come to where I live. Lastly is my personal update. I've been busy with school and boring stuff like that lately, but I've had enough time for fun stuff, too. I've been having a lot of fun with my friends trying to avoid drama, fights, and sadness for the last semester of this school year. So far, it's been working and I've been having so much fun. My grades have been higher recently, too, so I've been focused a lot more during school... But that doesn't mean I'm fully focused, don't worry, I haven't completely changed. Along with my social life and my school life, my music has been doing great. On Monday, I finished a song I've been writing for a long time. I've been mastering it on acoustic guitar and I've even started to record some of it on my computer. I'm having problems with sound, but so far, it's been going pretty well! When I finish recording, I'll probably start on my next song! I have a lot of random verses in my song book, so my next song will probably be editing and fitting together random verses. But mostly, just being organized is what I'm focusing on and hopefully songwriting will go faster that way! That's basically all that's been going on since I've lasted posted. Prepare yourselves for this Friday, 'cause Friday is breakup day! I'm talking about all the bands that have been breaking up recently, and trust me, there's quite a few! I decided to mix things up since most of my music updates have been happy. Please comment your ideas for next week! You can suggest topics for my music updates, suggest random music facts, suggest songs of the day, or you can just give me suggestions on how to improve my blog entirely! Please comment, tell your friends, and follow this blog! Thanks so much for reading and I hope you take the time to check back sometime soon to see my post on Friday, 'cause it's gonna be interesting! Thanks again for reading. SOURCES: Answers.com, Yahoo!
