Letlive opened the show and was pretty cool, for harcore / punk, or whatever. Although I think they would be more fun to see at Back Booth... I liked Enter Shikari, too. I guess it's hardcore / electronica / punk, with elements of rap thrown in? They put on a good live show and had lots of fun doing it. There were all the appropriate bits of

Ehh, I am not sure how much you've heard about this band? But there have been some small things their lead singer (Ronnie Radke) has done in the past few years that (to me) signaled "dude is extremely self-centered".. like, he started a band with his friend, while he was still in jail, and a few months after he got out and they started recording, the friend walked away.. like, during one show last year it was their drummer Ryan's birthday and there was a cake.. Ronnie took the cake and smashed it on Ryan's face and then made the rest of the show all about himself.. a few weeks ago he threw some mic stands into the crowd and cracked some kid's head open.. it was bad enough that he got arrested. Then a couple of weeks ago one of the bands got kicked off his tour and a variety of conflicting explanations were given, that all boil down to Ronnie being a shitty human being. I think it is pretty telling that the rest of his band are staying totally silent about this, not defending him, not stating their opinion, just saying NOTHING.
