I just realized that I've now posted two lengthy blogs about News From Verona, but haven't provided any information on how to listen to them online, but I'll provide it now!

on News From Verona... again.
so, I spent a good majority of my last post talking about News From Verona. I saw their show last night, and it was, hands down, the best show I've seen in a while.
The last few shows of theirs that I've seen have been all-acoustic since their drummer (Dan) was out in VA at school. Last night's show blew those (and most of the others I've seen) out of the water. Don't get me wrong, I LOVED their acoustic sets, but there's just so much more energy when Dan's back in town. Plus, they've got their friend Tyler playing keys with them to make their live set more like the album and he brings an unreal amount of energy to the show too. There is no doubt that that renewed and added energy made their set so much better. I thought at first that maybe I was a little biased since I am friends with all these guys and, naturally, I missed seeing Dan so just seeing him made me automatically think the show was great. However, after sitting by their table after their set, I heard multiple people at the show (fans, newcomers, friends, etc.) come up and say something to the effect of "wow, you guys were really great tonight!"
Everything that was happening just felt right. The energy coming from the band was off the charts. They sounded good, they looked good, and people were having a good time. there weren't crazy moshpits throwing people around, and there weren't hardcore dancers in the back, but they didn't need it. I firmly believe that everyone who saw that show walked away feeling better than they had when they arrived. It was that kind of show. the kind that didn't need to employ any artificial means in order to get people into it. it just needed a few good friends, some fans, and the energy of five boys doing what they love.
As I was standing at the very front of the stage (as is customary for me), I realized that I was entirely captivated by this band and have been for over half of the time that I've known them (about a year and a half). I don't think that has happened with any other band I've ever been around. sure, I like bands as soon as I listen to them, and sure I really like listening to bands. but being entirely captivated? I think not. News From Verona quickly won over my heart. between the music and the personality of each of the guys in the band, I found myself doing everything that I could to get people into them weeks after I saw them for the first time. I still do that. I'm the self-proclaimed official unoffical numero uno when it comes to anything NfV related. before this year is up, I'll have (hopefully) gotten at least two more grades to begin really following these guys. They'll make it big. I'm sure of it. and even if they don't, I'll still love them.
peace.

....but what?
I've decided to begin blogging for real this time. I'm not sure what about though... to be honest, I'm just trying to make a little money. I'm not even sure if it'll work, but I'm trying. I think that MySpace and Facebook and sites like that should start paying ME to continue to be a member. I'm not sure why they'd do that, but I think they should.I may make this a review sort of blog. y'know? I'll review new albums, books, concerts, bands, all that jazz. HEY! I could make this a NfV review blog. or just an NfV blog? I think that would work.
NfV = News From Verona, by the way. They're this amazing little band from Greenwood, Indiana. (about twenty minutes south of Monument Circle in Indianapolis, Indiana.)
I'd call them pop-punk christian, but that tends to deter people. they're not your typical "We love Jesus we want God to touch us, be in us, be with us" christan band who seemingly have a love interest in God... they're just five guys with a positive message that want kids to know that God IS there, and God is a huge part of their lives and he can be there for everyone if they'd let him. None of their Christian message interferes with their music though. it's just positive. about being good people, having fun, living life. I wouldn't know they were a Christian band at all, actually, if they didn't say halfway through their set "oh, by the way, we're Christian, come talk to us if you want to know more about what that means".
They've always been able to effectively let people know their beliefs without shoving it down their throats at all.
It's a great bunch of guys.
They've got a show on December 5, 2009 at The Gear: 41 W.Monroe St. Franklin, IN 46131 $10 to get in. They'll be playing with Seabird, The Holiday, and The Civil Wars. come check it out!
peace.

like I needed another blogsite...
but I've got yet another one... haha.
finished chapter eight today of GOW.
and I still really like Steinbeck... but I'm NOT looking forward to the assignments that go along with it. oh well.
if I read twenty-five pages every day until the end of July, I'll be done.
