PFFTTTT "whack"?-I'd like to say opposite of your opinoins on some aspects of the show. That was me in the Fevo. I went with a friend Megan. Four Letter Lie is an awesome... screamo/emo/poppunk from Maple Grove signed on Victory Records-their performance was as expected-really damn good. I loved how the little quietdrive fans were like.. ehhhhh when they started off screaming. It was awesome and too bad so sad for those kids! Dave Mellilo reminded me of an acoustic Starting Line band. White Light Riot was THE BEST performing band that night. They are an indie/alternative band and i've been listening to them for a few years now. They are really talented and are like a Phantom Planet/Interpol band. If you're not into that, eh...
Now Quietdrive. Very mediocre for me. I've seen them on numerous accounts but I've never gone to a show directly for them. They were always opening up for other bands I wanted to see. The thing is, with Quietdrive, it's pop-punk, but it's almost Incubus-ey. To me, they are good, but they aren't that good. They have lots of potential, but the level of poppy-ness isn't at a very high point in my standards-and I am a sucker for pop punk. I left after the 4th song. I saw what I wanted to see.. Four Letter Lie and White Light Riot. I would've stayed longer, but the group of 14-16 yr olds was too much for me.

www.purevolume.com/fourletterlie - CD is very good - perfect mix of screaming and singing and really good everything for your every need.
www.myspace.com/whitelightriotmusic -their CD is very good. Probably one of the best local/unsigned bands I've seen. If you're into indie/alternative, you willl appreciate their talent. Joe is an awesome guitarist.
