Free Drinks & Colour Revolt
Besides the terrible parking in Hoboken, NJ .. August 1st rocked my socks. I had some debit card problems at the bar, but I got a free beer and shot out of it so I’m not really going to complain. I made it in the stage area just in time, nuzzled my way directly to the front of the crowd and got ready to swing my hips and lose my voice. I felt so lucky to be so close, so up in their face that it’s probably annoying, but I loved every single second of it. No, they didn’t play “Circus”, but they did end with my personal fav off of their current CD Plunder, Beg and Curse - “Swamp”. And I got a pretty sick video of “Mattresses Underwater”.. love that song too. After, I wanted to buy a shirt but of course, the shirts were too big for little ol’ me, so I decided to spark up a conversation with Sean - one of the bands three guitarists. What a lovely, sweet guy; I pretty much told him how much I love their music, that I want to someday put on a show just for them in Jersey and he told me that he was very happy that I liked his (their) music… so I bought my first vinyl. Now all I need is an actual record player…
Here are some pics to help me remember how beautiful that night was - and I forgot to mention - we rolled up with 11 of our friends. That’s right - we Colour Revolt fans don’t come empty handed
