Prelude to a show…
My friend and I were lucky enough to grab dinner at Gibson’s
before the show, spend a few bucks and get in line for the early entry. I
highly recommend doing this if you plan to grab the rail or have a favorite
spot in the venue. With our game plan in hand (literally, we jotted it down on
a napkin like a play by play in the game of our lives), we waited for a sign
from security. I watched the opening to the steps just behind me while my
friend watched up ahead. Then it happened. Security behind me shifted a
trashcan blocking the stairway. I grabbed my friend’s arm and pulled her with
me as I bolted for the opening. Yes! We scored the perfect spot for the show…
on the floor but just above the chaos!
Four bands. All from Richmond. All worth the wait … ?

Venue: The National
Location: Richmond, VA

Openers: Special Guests and The Airborne Toxic Event
Headliner: Switchfoot
Props to the Battle of the Band winners Against Grace and Drew Martin & the Limelights who both put on engaging and energetic shows.
Drew Martin & the Limelights were a bit more pop oriented with catchy choruses and smooth vocals. Deep Blue Something (remember them? no? "Breakfast at Tiffany's"?) came to mind while listening. This band was a bit too soft for my taste but I can definitely see an appeal for radio play. Oh, Drew, please create a band web page. FaceBook, Twitter and the like are nice, but a band web page is much easier to peruse.

I'd have to say Against Grace is my favorite of the two and reminded me of cross between Something Corporate (remember them?) and Manchester Orchestra. Richmond natives Against Grace released an EP in 2008 and another in 2010. The band hopes to release a full length album early in 2012.

Overall, this was a fun show. Taken in parts, the evening resembled a good, meh, good sandwich.. with beards. A lot of beards. The band members and audience members sported facial hair that would bring out the jealous streak of Grizzly Adams himself. I realize November is "Noshavember/Novembeard" but something tells me these hairy men enjoy the bush year round (innuendo not intended, but funny none the less).
