thornbird!

So yesterday my friends Cory and Melissa and me went to a concert held on campus. It's really cool here on weekends because the college always tries to have some sort of event going on, be it comedian or band or play.
Last night at 9pm Thornbird was playing. It was amazing, probably one of the most fun things I'd been to in a long time, if not ever. The music was rock and LOUD and good, so good in fact that I bought the CD. The band was even nice enough to all sign everything that was sold, so I had my CD signed.
The CD itself, besides sounding great, is really cool. It's titled 'denim', because they wanted to do something different then major record companys are doing (they're self-produced/etc) so they sell the CDs in denim pockets with the button from jeans and all. It's really cool. And inside is not only the CD, but a thornbird sticker, and a booklet with photos in.
During the band's intermission we were waiting for Melissa to get out of the bathroom when all of a sudden Pat the drummer from the band came tearing around the corner and almost knocked cory over on the way to the bathroom. And then after he came out of the bathroom he was really cool and we were all talking and he told us to listen to the one song while flipping through the photo book to get a really cool effect.
Oh, and we had a tour of their bus/van. It's kind of cramped, I can't imagine spending as much time in there as they do, but I guess that's the type of stuff you're willing to do when you really love playing music and performing.

You can really tell they love playing music. The concert was a ton of fun with lots of interaction between the band and us (the audiance). I definetly recommend Thornbird if you want to see a great show, I know I had tons of fun.
Their site is really cool also, has pictures and music and message boards that the band actually replies to in adition to the store where you can buy their stuff. Oh and it's really interesting how high-tech seeming it is, it's just a cool layout and site in general:
