Inspiration


Within the past month, I've been blessed to be able to attend great shows. Music is a source of inspiration that will never stop growing.

It started off with Muse, and it is easily said that it was the best show I've ever lived. Having seen them twice before already, including in Europe where they are praised like gods, I had plenty to compare to.
I admire their musical genius, their musicianship, their passion and the fact that they're such cool rockstars.
The Staples Center did them good. The stage was epic.
I wish he had played more songs on piano though... I still love Matthew though. To think guitar was not even his first instrument...
To bad I had to miss on Passion Pit. But that'll be for next time.
The cool thing was also being able to watch them with the band mates. A cool memory to add to the list.

Then there was Jimmy Eat World. I had always liked their music but had never gotten into them that much. I was curious to find out how they'd be live. I must admit it took me halfway through the show to get into it, but they sure knew how to end it on a high note.
It was at The Wiltern, one of my favorite venues. Needless to say it was a cool show.

And then, there was The Temper Trap. I had fallen for "Sweet Disposition" like many have, but buying their album showed that wouldn't be the only song I'd like.
Their opening acts were quite interesting; they were mostly electro. It was cool seeing that kind of music being performed live. You should check them out: The Hundred in the Hands and Delphic.
The Temper Trap were pretty cool. I'm amazed by how high the singer can sing with that vibrato. Their instrumental jams was what caught me. Pretty original the way they pulled them off.
It's definitely a band I'd recommend checking out when they come back to the US again.
