I wanna got to an MC Chris show..

Last night MCG, vbkim and myself journeyed down to the State Theatre for the MC Chris show. Little to our surprise, we not only got to see MC Chris but 3 other acts as well.

The first group was a Dutch group. They were alright, but weren't the greatest. The lead singer looked much older than everyone else in the band. I would have sworn that it was a father and his kids, but what do I know?? I do know that they were from Amsterdam and all they were talking about was how it is legal to smoke over there. Duh, we already knew that!!

The second group was horrible. The were called Silence After Tragedy and they were from good ol' Pasco County Florida. For those not familiar with Florida, Pasco County is a pretty redneck County. All of their songs sounded the same because all they did was scream. Oh and one of the guitarist has a mullet(complete redneck). It wasn't my type of music so I was not interested.

The third group was called SNMNMNM. They were actually pretty good. We found out from one of the 15 year olds in attendence that this group has been touring with MC Chris. They had drums, guitars and even some brass instruments. This music I would buy and recommend, but none others up until this point.

Now on to the MC. 3 hours and 3 bands later, MC Chris finally comes out on stage. Now I had heard his music a couple of times before. I actually saw him on Attack of the Show on G4 a week earlier, so I kind of knew what to expect. However I did not know that I would be like the only person in the crowd not singing along. Oh well, I still had a good time. His performance lasted like an hour and a half so that was pretty cool!! He sang almost every song he has (from what have been told), went off on some rants, and told some stories. After he got done with his part of the show, he left the stage and then came back out and took request. I thought that was pretty cool and it is the nice thing about having a smaller show and not being too popular. For those of you that have never listened to MC Chris you will have to go to his website and listen to some of his songs. Oh and the picture above is of MC Chris and his DJ John. Apparently that picture was taken after a show when they were all tired and sweaty, exactly how I felt when I left.

So moral of the story is if you hear that MC Chris is coming to your town, get out and see him. The concerts cost like $10.00 and are worth the money.
