One of my favorite things about going to a show is having the privilege of seeing the opening acts. While many fans might not be interested in the first or second act, I love seeing bands that I have never heard of in a live show at an amazing venue like The Fillmore. As a die-hard music fan, I learn a lot about a band when they sound good live as well as when they don’t. This month, I saw four bands that blew my mind and really impressed the crowd.
Stars in Stereo, an Los Angeles based group grabbed my attention when they jumpstarted the Bullet for my Valentine show. Towards the end of their set, they covered the Nine Inch Nails song “Closer,” and put their own hard rock twist on it that set the tone for the rest of the night. Great Britain natives, Young Guns, who currently have one of my favorite songs on the radio, “Bones,” had the crowd gossiping once they recognized the song and realized who they were. Next up, Halestorm‘s lead singer, Lzzy Hale hit the stage rocking a dress and high heels, and they crushed their radio hits like “I Miss The Misery” and “Love Bites.”
Bullet for my Valentine has been a band that I have followed the last eight years, and is one of those bands that I have been itching to see live. When they came out, the crowd went nuts and their hard-rock vibe capped off the night perfectly. The best part of the night however was at the end when they played “Tears Don’t Fall.” Fans were air-guitaring and singing word-for-word at the top of their lungs. As the night ended and I left the Fillmore, I thought to myself, ‘Those four amazing bands just made my Friday night.’
