Relient K, MXPX and Switchfoot Concerts
So, this last week has been eventful from a concert standpoint. Petra was on the 6th, last Thursday Beverly and I saw Switchfoot, and last night we saw MXPX and Relient K.
First the Switchfoot concert. This was the first concert I have been to where I had to take my shoes off and be patted down. Everyone had to have the done. I guess it just shows what kind of world we live in. Switchfoot didn’t come onstage till almost 10:15pm, and that was already a little late for a Thursday night. They played all their big hits from their current album and their last album. Overall it was a good show. They are fine performs live, and I would advise seeing them if you get the chance.
Last night was MXPX and Relient K. It was at the Mesa Amphitheater, which meant it was outside. That was really nice, because it wasn’t too loud, and the concert had to be done early because of the noise. MXPX has been around a while (12 years about), and they are great on stage performers. They knew how to engage the crowd, keep everyone in a good mood, and rock out at the same time. I got to hear some stuff from their latest album, Panic, and it sounded pretty good. I think I will pick up the vinyl version of the album when it comes out later this year (or early next year). They played quite a bit of their older stuff as well, and hearing Chick Magnet, I’m OK, You’re OK, and Punk Rock Show live was great. Then Relient K came on. They played a lot of stuff from their latest album and their previous album. They are not as good stage performers as MXPX, but they are relatively young compared the MXPX, so they have time to grow. What I did like was that most of the songs they sung were songs that had God mentioned in them. Relient K has a lot of songs that don’t mention God and are “fun” songs and I like them, but it was great that their choice of music focused on God. It was especially nice since there is a good chance that there were non-Christians there.
So, the last week and a half have been filled with 3 concerts and 4 Christian bands that I really enjoy. God is good!
