We are your average ordinary...SUPER HEROES...somthing something something...ROCK AND ROLL BAND > _)!
Last night was the greatest event in the entire history of the universe. THE AQUABATS played a hole-in-the-wall a few miles from my apt, and when I say 'played', I really mean ROCKED OUR FREAKING SOULS until our soul-goo was all churny and started moshing and going nuts. We got to the place to see an 80s-looking band with laser guitars and bubble machines play song after song to an uncaring crowd of 15-year olds (this demographic would come into play later) and they were too loud and all their stuff sounded the same. Too bad.
We walked to the front and (a little backstory, before the show Eric and Jared asked me: 'is that what you're wearing?' and told me they were sporting stuff that could get trashed) as the 'Bats ran on stage, the entire 100-200 man crowd surged forward, pinning everyone together into a sweaty mass that swayed back and forth, left and right for a good 3 songs. We tried to be a rock that this wave splashed onto, but there were too many kids! I ended up getting sucked out to the right side of the stage, where I caught the entire show from a good vantagepoint. My bros stayed centerstage, and the Bat Commander grabbed them a few times / thrust the mic into their faces alot.
The Bat Commander is the MAN. He had soo much charisma, and he totally knew how to mess w/the crowd. Every time he raised a fist or struck a pose, there'd be a hundred crowd members mimicking him. That's the great thing about the concert. It was a SHOW. There were monsters, drama, poison, Journey, saxophones, all to a great pace that fed us more and more. I didn't realize at their second encore, but they had played 6 classics and 7 new tracks off their AWESOME new album. YEAH! How about that!! I love the new album! It's up there with Fury, but nothing will ever top that in my book.
PS, After 5 minutes the entire crowd was covered in sweat. Jared rang his shirt out, and a puddle happened.
Gotta go, kids.

This is Eric, oldest sibling of the man-child they call Chad. I second everything Chad just said about the Aquabat concert. It was seriously awesome. Nobody has more fun than kids at an Aquabat show. Not only were they playing sweet songs and whipping monster ass, they had a vid screen playing tons of clips of obscure movies that somehow tied into each of their songs. Rad. My highlight was singing "I'm a winner" into the Bat Commander's microphone while simultaneously elbowing some jerk in the neck who kept pushing people. Look out nerds, the Aquabats are coming to rock you!
