song of the day: Rise Against- Savior

I love Rise Against. I always will. I don't listen to them a lot anymore because they remind me of my sXe vegan teenage self and then my cigarette smoking, drug consuming, cheese eating modern person feels guilty.

regardless, I always try to catch them in concert...they were at my first ever festival (BFD 2006!) and continue to awe me every time Warped tour comes to town.

oh, and here's an mp3

Rise Against - Savior [mp3]
from Appeal to Reason

I decided...

I'm going to the Rise Against show after all. it's gen admission, which means NO FUCKING SEATS (win.) I don't go to enough punk shows. plus, tickets are pretty cheap (33)



I've been listening to Rise Against at work all day, they're ridiculously good live

I had no idea.

I'm taking my baby brother, he hasn't been to enough rock concerts. I've only taken him to a festival (last year). I need to salvage what little good taste he has left

Rise Against - Paper Wings

I was just watching the following live video of my favourite Rise Against song:



and something struck me for the first time,

the guy that I was practically infatuated with last semester (fruitless, he wasn't single) looks a LOT like Rise Against's lead singer Tim McIlrath.


the guy just had a LOT more tattoos, and darker hair, and glasses.

I love grungy looking guys. the dirtier, the better.

Rise Against PRESALE PASSWORD

the show will take place on Thursday, July 9th at the Oracle in Oakland (whoa, when did Rise Against become a stadium band? come to think of it, they played SJ State's theatre last time around, and that place is HUGE...)

anyhow,

Presale starts: Thu, Mar 26 at 10am
Presale ends: Fri, Mar 27 at 10pm

PASSWORD: reason

opening bands are Rancid and Billy Talent. I saw the latter band open up for My Chemical Romance, they're pretty awesome (yes, I went to see MCR in concert and they were GOOD. suck it.)

I shall not be attending this concert, I'm not that much of a fan of the band. every once and a while, I get the urge to listen to Siren Song of the Counter Culture, but that's about it.
