Here's a short review and some pics from the Bottom Lounge show. This weekend was fabulous!!! However I had some technology issues for the HM show. I only got a few pics. Then my phone wouldn't work for cellcerts. The show was really good. But I really can't remember the set list. I know they opened with Let It Go and ended with Stuck in a Box. They played about 8 songs. I think everything on the new CD except Do You and Smile and Wave, but I might not be remembering that correctly. Jason was on fire!!! Ashok was really playing up the rock star role, too. He had these fab sunglasses on. Andy is still sporting the beard (ever since MI) and was all over the stage. Matt's voice was spot on again. Great crowd interacting and banter back and forth! HM had the most people there out of all the bands. Made me very happy.  Here's the link to my pic: www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=86743&l=d48aa&id=688515489 I know HY got more. Thank goodness.      OHHHHHH - And Marty showed up to support his friend! |

Folks, please continue to vote for HM during the day on MTV Soundtrack. soundtrack.mtv.com/profile/holdingmercuryThey seem to be holding steady at #60, and we really need to them higher up in the count to get noticed by MTV. I know that Hammerheads can make this happen. It's really easy. I believe you don't even have to register to vote. Please support Matty and his band! |
