Greetings, music lovers! Last Friday I was lucky enough to see American Authors headlining a tour with The Royal Concept! Oh my goodness, you guys... this concert was SO GOOD! Not only do they both sound amazing live, but they played songs from their upcoming albums! American Authors have their new album coming out in March (I know, so far away! GAH!), so keep an out for that. One song they played from the new album was particularly awesome. This album is going to be so amazing, you guys! I thought I'd share some of my favorites with you this week (other than those I've previously shared here). Oh yeah! They were joined by a band I wasn't familiar with, Mister Wives. They were fun, but I had a hard time understanding what they were saying. Oops! Still a great experience! So, without further ado, here are some amazing tracks from American Authors and Sweden's The Royal Concept! Tally ho! (... I have no idea...)

So remember how I mentioned last week that I was able to see Frightened Rabbit the previous week? Well, this week is dedicated to someone I saw last Friday! I was so incredibly excited to see City and Colour live, you have no idea. Not only did I get to see him, but I also got to see The Paper Kites open the show! Oh my gosh, I really did almost die from sheer joy.
Talk about being ridiculously talented, oh my word! Dallas is SO FREAKING AMAZING live, you guys! He's so funny and he really knows how to interact with the crowd. I was so entranced by his awesomeness, I took like one picture... and it was blurry, of course. I dragged my sister with me again, so if she ever sends me her pictures, I'll share them with you. But seriously, if you have the opportunity to see City and Colour live, DO IT! You definitely won't regret it.
Last week I shared some tracks from Frightened Rabbit's newest album, so I think I'll do the same for City and Colour. If you haven't heard it yet, The Hurry and the Harm is a stellar album. So without further ado, here are some of my favorites from the new album. Happy listening, everyone!

Hello everyone! I hope all you music lovers out there are having a great week so far. For this week, I thought I'd share a group I was able to see live last Friday. Who might that be? Oh, only... Frightened Rabbit! What?! Yeah, I totally got to see them in concert and it was amazing! My sister went with me and we had a blast. She might not have known any of their songs, but that didn't keep us from enjoying it. Frightened Rabbit is seriously amazing live... they sound exactly like they do on their albums! Maybe even a little better! The opening act was a band from New York called Augustines (they're album comes out in January, I believe). They were really good, too... check them out if you haven't already!
The clearest photo... I seriously need to get used to my new phone...
Anyway, since I've already shared my favorite song, The Loneliness and the Scream, I thought I'd share some tracks from their newest album! Happy listening, everyone!

For my last Concert Edition, I wanted to share the two concerts I would give ANYTHING to see... and bonus, the groups are still together! I've been in love with these groups since... oh man, it feels like ages! What groups am I talking about? Only two of the best in the entire world... Coldplay & Muse!! One day... one day I will get to see them in concert.

This concert edition is dedicated to the bands I was most excited to see... like freakishly excited. Out of all the bands I've seen, I was ridiculously excited to see Anberlin and Relient K! Here are a couple of my favorite tracks from them... plus a Christmas song for fun.

Concert edition continues! AND - after what feels like a million years - I have internet access again! YAY! Today is a good day.
So for today's Concert Edition of Tune in Tuesday, I decided to feature some tunes from a band I WISH I could have seen in concert... but I'll never be able to due to the fact that they broke up. I was a poor college student while they were together and I was saving up for a concert in Seattle... then they broke up! Seriously hurt my heart when I found out. Anyway, what group might I be talking about? Oh, only one of my all-time favorites, a Seattle grown band extraordinaire... ACCEPTANCE! I hope you guys enjoy them as much as I do and I hope you feel the loss of what would have been an epic concert (and career, for that matter). By the way... I still totally hold out hope that they'll reunite one day... just sayin'. Hehe.
First up is the first song I ever heard from Acceptance, Different. These guys have some seriously spectacular lyrics, people... I mean, really! And Jason's voice?! Gah! So good.
Next is probably most definitely my favorite track, So Contagious. I considered using the album version of this track, but I just couldn't help showing how freakin' cute these guys are. I mean, seriously... look at them! Yowza.
On to another favorite (though, really, they're all my favorite), Permanent. I could have definitely shared every single song, but I thought I'd go a little easy on ya. Haha! But really, if you haven't picked up their album(s) yet, DO IT!
Though the group broke up to pursue other things, they were kind enough to share the last song they were working on Not Afraid. If this track is any indication, they were simply getting better and better with age. 'Tis a shame they ended it so soon.
And just because it's the Christmas season, here's Acceptance performing Happy XMas (War is Over) originally by John Lennon. Enjoy!! :)

For this week's edition, I decided to share music from the first concert I ever went to. Then I had a problem... what was the first concert I ever attended? Curse this horrible memory of mine! I shake my fist at you. Anyway, after trying to go back through the years, I think I've finally remembered what my first concert was: Sugarcult headlining, with Quietdrive and All Time Low opening. The concert was on my University campus - in 2006, I think?? lol! - and only cost $5, so that was pretty sweet. AND I got to go with two of my good friends, Stephanie and Adam. Steph and I were able to get right up against the stage, smack dab in the center... it was awesome. From then on I was hooked on concerts... I still love jammin' out, though it's been over a year since my last concert. Withdrawal! So, without further ado, here are some of my favorite songs performed during the concert... I think one from each band should be fun. Happy listening!! :)
First up, Memory, from their album Palm Trees and Power Lines. I had a tough time choosing which was my favorite from their performance. I mean, Memory is such a classic Sugarcult song! However, when I attended this particular concert, their album Lights Out was getting ready to be released (or they were working on it or it had just come out... I can't remember) and I absolutely fell in love with The Investigation. I mean, really? It's fantastic! So, I'm going to post TWO Sugarcult songs. They were the headliners, after all... so why shouldn't they have two songs?! Bwahah. Enjoy!
Next up we have Rise from the Ashes from Quietdrive's debut album, When All That's Left Is You. This whole album is freakin' awesome. If you haven't already, you should totally check it out. I love this song! Another one of my favorite tracks they performed that night was a cover of Cyndi Lauper's Time After Time. It took a while for this awesome cover to get the notice it so deserved, but I'm sure everyone's heard it by now. If not, go here to listen to it!
And last, but not least, we have Break Out! Break Out! from the EP Put Up or Shut Up. Oh the early All Time Low... lol. ATL was totally new to me (and I think most people) at the time of this concert, but I remember liking their sound and thinking that they seemed super fun. Now practically everyone knows who they are! Strange how quickly things can change, huh!? Good times, good times.
