#20 - brandi carlile

going to a show tonight! i'm so excited, it's a fine frenzy opening for brandi carlile. unfortunately i have to miss a dodgeball game for this show but it's way worth it. if you haven't heard her yet...well you're just plain missing out. pretty much all her songs are awesome and she's got a whole lot of new stuff that hasn't been released yet. i'm excited for the next album, whenever it's gonna come out. i wonder if she's going to work with t bone burnett again and record in the same live style that she did "the story".



UPDATE: the concert was fabulous! it was all i could ask for and more, brandi was amazing and of course the twins were too. we got there at 7 when the doors opened and got almost up to the stage, brandi's grandma was there in a wheelchair. she's kinda a celebrity in this world. there was this whole bunch of annoying crazy fans. i thought i was obsessed but they go to every show it seems like. some of them post vids on youtube and i recognized one person's name. weird. anyhoo they were pretty annoying because they kept talking throughout the whole opening act, which was a fine frenzy.

a fine frenzy is this beautiful redhead girl with a voice like an angel. not kidding, i was mesmerized listening to her, even though i have their album and heard all the songs, she was just spectacular in concert. i'd definitely go see them again.

there was one crazy gal in particular that really annoyed me, she was drunk. it's cool to yell out something to the performer like "we love you, brandi" or something like that. but to do it before she starts every song?! and she kept saying "it's all you girl, HOLLA" and stupid stuff like that. by the end of the night everyone was telling her to shut the f up. i was embarrassed for her. but it didn't ruin the night for me, brandi was great. the songs were great, she played a bunch of new stuff and even one i've never seen on youtube. it was a sort of tribute to country classic but at the same time it was funny. i'll try to put some vids up later.
