Paramore at the House of Blues

Last night we went to Boston to see Paramore. They were playing at the House of Blues, right across from Fenway. We had a great time.

Miss Moon had roped her mother into going, get this, her mother had never even heard of the band. Luckily she had a seat.

Miss Moon and I were down in front in the mash pit. It really wasn't that bad until Paramore was about to come out. People started to push and shove. Miss Moon and I just had to brace ourselves. Although that still doesn't top the pit we had when we saw Jack's Mannequin at Toad's Place in CT.

They had two opening bands; The Swellers and Paper Route. The Swellers weren't bad, they were just hard to hear. I don't know if it was the base or the drums but we really couldn't hear them. I really liked Paper Route but Miss Moon only thought they were okay. The had some really strong base that made a lot of vibrations. She didn't like that.

Paramore played really well. At one point they even brought out accoustic guitars. They played all the old standbuys: That's What You Get, Crushcrushcrush, etc. I was starting to get worried when they were playing the new stuff and they hadn't played Misery Business. They ended up saving that for last. The pit went wild when they played that song. It was an awesome show and we ended up really close, about two people from the front.
