NINTENDO FUSION TOUR
Hey Everybody,
Comin' at ya with a few new bands you may have never heard of. I went to the Nintendo Fusion Tour last night and it was awesome. It was at the Electric Factory in Philly. It was headlined by Fall Out Boy with guests, The Starting Line, Boy's Night Out, Panic at the Disco and Motion City Soundtrack. Upon arrival, we realized the entire crowd was 15 year old teenie-bopping girls and little punk guys, so we went upstairs to the 21 year old balcony/bar. It was a really good view from up there, altho the energy wasn't as intense as being down on the floor.
Panic at the Disco opened up the show. I had never heard of these guys before. They are basically a punk band that has a very British sound to them. They were pretty good though. Definitely worth checking out. Boy's Night Out went on next. They were good, but their sound was muffled because they had way to many things going on at once. A keyboarder, 2 guitars, bass, lead singer and drums and there were usually 2 people singing at once. They have the possibility to be really good though, I'm in the process of downloading their CD to see if it's better. Motion City Sountrack came on next. They were really good and they have an INSANE keyboarder that just went crazy the entire time. They were my favorite band out of the first 3. The Starting Line, which some of you may have heard before, were next. They were really tight and I knew some of their songs so it was more enjoyable to watch. They played their songs a little bit slower than they normally sound which I thought was weird, but they were still good.
Finally, Fall Out Boy came on. They had an amazing set. It started out with "Act One" so it played out like a play. I don't remember their set list, altho I wish I did, but they played most of their hits and a bunch of older songs. The guitarist and bass player were spinning all over the place and the bass player actually jumped off the balcony into the crowd which was a sold 15 feet. Pretty nuts. They had some of the singers from the other bands come out and sing with them which was really cool. All I wanted to hear was their song "Saturday" which is my favorite song by them. They actually closed with it which was clutch. There's a part at the end where there's a guy just screaming in the background and they had a guy come out and sing that while the singer sang the regular part and it sounded awesome. All in all it was a really good show and the venue was really cool. I will definitely go back to see more shows there. I'm out.

Hey Mike! It seems like you had a really good time at the concert. My good friend actually went to the same concert and he said it was a lot of fun, but he was also complaining about how young the crowd was. I've been to the electric factory a few times and I really like the atmosphere. I'm actually going again next week to see Death Cab for Cutie. I've never really heard of any of the bands that were at the Nintendo Fusion tour with the exception of Fall Out Boy. I like most of their stuff especially their big hit Sugar we're goin down. I hear their older albums are pretty good also. Anyway, I'm looking forward to reading about other good bands that you're listening to.
I am jealous that sounds like an awesome concert. I think that the Electric factory is one of the best venues in the philadelphia area. i think that no matter what your always going to find that maturity of the crowd is little teenie boppers that hate their parents. But the Electric factory's bar upstairs allows for a best concert experience. I've seen Fall out Boy and Starting Line and i know that they both put on great shows. I've heard of Motion City Soundtrack but have only listened to few tracks. I'm definitely going to check them out.
