Spring Broke

Ash was great. The concert was this past Saturday in NC and was a damn blast. The Bravery and Crimea opened and Ash headlined. Both of the opening bands were unexpectedly good. The Crimea had a sort of Pixies-ish thing going on and the Bravery was, well I don't really know what the style is called but it was good nonetheless. I don't have a setlist but Ash played almost all of the stuff I wnated them to play including Kung Fu, Burn Baby Burn, and a bunch of stuff off the new album. On that note, I just found out that the US release has a couple extra songs on it. Dammit (I have the import). They did play one song I didn't know from the Road Trip soundtrack I think. This has inspired me to become a real fan and get all of the Ash singles I can get my dirty hands on. Next time there will be no unknowns. The night was capped off by our getting to (briefly) meet Ash. I got to say hello to Tim and Rick as we left. Rick told us to go get drunk in honor of my wife's birthday. Good times. I wish I could have conveyed how much I like their music. Instead I conveyed a basic greeting. For those of you who don't know who Ash is, their website can be found here. Rock on.
