The Ridiculously Low Priced $2 Show

So most of you know there was a concert last night with FOUR bands all for one low price of two dollars. The bands were; Autumns Uprising, New Euphoria, Capital Catalyst, and Safe & Easy. All of these bands have a myspace with music, except Capital Catalyst has videos of them playing instead of the normal music player. The show started at seven p.m. and didn't end until midnight, but it was totally worth staying up because the bands were awesome. Autumns Uprising (shown below) played first and they are mainly an acoustic band, so their crowd was kinda small since they were first and over all pretty mellow. The band members are (from left to right) Spencer, Garion, and Shawn. They all switch instruments so they don't stay on just one for the most part.




Next was New Euphoria (shown below). This band is made up of Ben (bass and vocals), Chris (vocals, piano, and guitar), Aaron (drums and vocals), Justin (guitar and vocals), Jameson Spracher (vocals, guitar, and trumpet). Their genres are Rock, Pop punk, and Alternative. It was hard to get good pictures of them because they were always moving. Ben is actually the person who told me about the show and got me to go. So I took the most pictures of their band.








The crowd was getting bigger and bigger as the show went on. It was insane. New Euphoria really got the band pumped for the next group, Capital Catalyst. By this point, my batteries were dead for my camera because someone decided to leave it on (oops) so I don't have pictures of the last two bands from that night. Capital Catalyst's memebers are Carson (Guitar), Austin (Bass), Jon (Drums), Conor (Vocals). The band played Metal music with a little bit of Rock. The croud went crazy by this point and a mosh pit formed. I got thrown into the middle of it and have the bruises to prove it. The final band of the night was Safe & Easy from our very own school. The members are Mark (Drums), Joe (Vocals and Trombone), Eric (Bass), and Jeff (Guitar). The mosh pit slowed down for them, but strobe lights came on. I had to sit out in the hall for most of the time because strobe lights make me sick, but I could still hear them and they sounded great. Overall it was a great show and everyone needs to make sure that they go and see them the next time they play!
