I'm really looking forward to seeing him :D

If only the tickets would actually go on sale ...
Open your eyes to nights and days, you close them up and float away
and somehow inbetween you've got to master lying to yourself
you back the cause, get out of school, you get a job, the job gets you
and somehow every day you end up serving somebody else
now if that ain't panic that you're feeling, then you damn well better start
you can drive it into that head of yours with the hammer in your heart.


And it's alriiiiiiiight now, take the world and make it yours again.

Goodbye you liar,
Well you sipped from the cup but you don't own up to anything
Then you think you will inspire
Take apart your head
(and I wish I could inspire)
Take apart your demons, then you add it to the list.

I've only seen him once and they had to stop half way through because the piano player was getting electrocuted or something. :(

I've seen him 3 times already but the second time, he had to stop playing after 4 songs (Stage 13) because it started raining really bad and everyone was running for cover. :lol:

Anyway, he's an awesome live performer. Just saw him in November with Matt Mays. Great show!
And if I don't make it known that
I've loved you all along
Just like sunny days that
We ignore because
We're all dumb and jaded
And I hope to God I figure out
What's wrong

No no no, he may have had a shock, but it was because the amount of water on stage and the continuous rain were becoming safety hazards.

And he played more than half his set! we only missed 3 songs :p

Thanks :D

I emailed his website when the venue had another band listed as playing that night in Feb. and a nice man emailed me back to tell me it had changed.

There are still no tickets on sale though :(

It seemed like we missed more, lol.

I was watching the video for Brother Down ( I hadnt seen it in a while) the other day, and seriously, if I hadn't known it was him, I wouldnt of recognized him. He's the only famous person I know that could get away with that nest :lol:

Random Sam Roberts info

He is releasing "We were all born in a flame" in the UK and the States and then going on a small club tour over the summer in the UK with the occasional american show. He's trying to break their markets.
