Rock Steady

Unfortunately, as excited as I am to see No Doubt tomorrow, this closes out my concert season until October (when I’ll be seeing MUSE!) which makes my little musical heart very sad. And I want to give my sincerest apologies for the lack of cute boy today as it is Hump Day, but like I said – I’ve been playing catch up since returning from California and am still kind of settling back into the routine (regularly blogging being part of it). Hopefully I’ll be able to post a review on Thursday, but it will most likely be posted a little later than usual! And I promise I’ll be updating daily next week and have plenty of eye candy to share come next Hump Day. Deal? Deal.

So now to the show! No Doubt will be bringing their marvelousness to the Cruzan Amphitheater tonight in West Palm Beach, FL. I was lucky enough to score 10th row and center tickets so I am beyond stoked! Although I find Gwen’s solo records to be really fun, there is nothing like good old No Doubt to me. I’ve been a fan since I was 14 years old and this will be my second time seeing them live. The last time I saw them was probably about 7 years ago so this has been a long time coming! Best part? I get to share it with a No Doubt virgin: my husband! I love attending concerts with people that have never seen the band play – their reactions are always so amazing (well, when the band is amazing) & fun to watch. We’ll also be tailgating prior to the show so if you are going, join in on the pre-party 😉

ps; I better see some vintage Gwen push-ups tonight!
pps; Why are these adorable tees not available on the tour????

Concert Season

My hubs and I are concert goers. Seeing live music is one of my main hobbies. I enjoy it so much. There really is nothing like seeing one of your favorite bands live – experiencing the music and sharing it with your closest friends. Unfortunately, Miami doesn’t play host to many great bands but that seems to be changing as of late. We’ve had a lot of great bands coming through our area for once, which makes me really excited and hopeful that we will get even more!

This summer is especially jam packed with musical goodness. I have tickets to see 4 different artists and it’s only March! And they are all wonderful. Want to know who?

Kings of Leon
May 7th, 2009

Kings of Leon are just good rock and roll. And I’m a good rock and roll kind of girl. I was hooked on first listen and was lucky enough to see them open for Pearl Jam back last summer. They were amazing and I hoped and prayed that they would come back headlining their own show. And what do you know? Here they are! I scored floor tickets and will be sharing the fun with my good friend & forever concert buddy, Elissa. It should be tons of fun.

Hella Good

Truly the best news in my music universe this week has been No Doubt’s tour date announcement.

Hands down.

I am ridiculously happy. So much so that when I saw the video & read the tour dates, I literally shrieked, jumped to my feet and started hopping all over the house. Then I launched myself on the hubs. Yeah, that’s how happy this makes me. For me, after the Smashing Pumpkins comes No Doubt and it’s been about 8 years since I saw them live. Plus, I have this ridiculous girl crush on Gwen Stefani. I think she’s amazing. So amazing that I named my dog after her.  And it goes without saying that Tony, Tom & Adrian are the best. The lyrics, the music, the high-energy shows…what’s not to love? Sorry if this post is crazy & slightly incoherent but I am just.so.excited. Maybe it’s best not to blog when in the midst of a fangirl panic.

Edit: Just scored 10th row (center) tickets to the show!!!!!! SQUEE!
