Chevelle at Stubb's

Woohoo!! Finally got to see Chevelle in concert. Bought tickets way back in March, but the band's trailer with all their gear was stolen just before the concert so it was cancelled. Finally was rescheduled for 10/18 -- and just my luck it landed on a Thursday night. Our IBM flag football league plays on Thursday nights. So we played our game at 8pm, concert started at 7:30. Finished right around 9pm and hauled butt downtown to Stubb's. Kara, Vick and Mike and joined us and as we walked up to the place, we heard them starting so we didnt miss anything.

Man, these dudes were awesome. Its mostly the front man Pete Loeffler. He does most if not all the writing and the sound he gets with his Mesa Boogie and his baritone guitars in dropped A# tuning is sweet. Only thing that sucks about that is it his hard to play with a standard guitar...so I don't even try. Awesome concert though. Mike was trippin' on some guy who had a chicken head/wing thing going. Hopefully they come near us again soon. Would like to get there early next time and get further up to the stage.
