Who: Against Me!, Ted Leo and The Pharmacists, Future of the Left
When: Wednesday, October 22nd
Where: In The Venue
How: 24tix or smithstix

This is sure to be one of the best shows of the year, featuring bands who seriously know how to bring the rock. I have to include some videos to help you get excited. First, Ted Leo and the Pharmacists play the fantastic “Me and Mia” live in Philadelphia. The crowd is right on top of them and the energy and performance is amazing:

Up next is Against Me!, a band that holds a special place in my heart. A couple years ago, a friend made me a cd with some of their music on it. I listened to it often at the graphic design lab at USU while I worked on projects. One day, I realized how much l really loved their music, and they have been my among my very favorite ever since. Here is a live clip of them playing an acoustic version of “Sink, Florida, Sink.” There is a swear word in the song so it might not be work appropriate, depending on where you work. I love this video, because it shows how much they draw the audience into their performance:

So there you have it, this show at In the Venue will be stellar. Videos are great, but you have to experience these bands live to fully appreciate them.
