dean winchester.:
the crowd was really, really mild compared to what I've been in. I expected it to be a lot harsher. but, they were one of the first bands to play, so it could have been that there weren't a lot of people.
it got pretty pushy when shawn jumped in though. ahaha. everyone wanted to touch him.
they were really amazing though. shawn made us slow dance with the person next to us [or tried to], and he made us do lots of pelvic thrusts during papercut skin. their set was pretty short though, which was disappointing. I think they only played like, five or six songs.

Ah, it sounds so amazing =]
I'm so fucking hyped.
One week to go!

Professor Chaos:

So, I've never been to a Matches set.
Does it go off?
Tell me how fucking awesome it is =]
Do the people get all pushy and harsh?
It's probably going to be the most fun at a show you'll ever have.
It's so easy to feed off of their energy and for them to feed off of you, which is why they're my favorite live band.

I'm usually not the person to like jump and go crazy and throw my hands in the air at shows and this is when I'm with friends and stuff, but the last show of theirs I went to I got pushed and shoved and whatnot in the pit (yeah the pit CAN get a little rough, but it's honestly not even that crazy) and I got separated from my friend. I was standing by myself but I was still rocking the fuck out and doing things I normally don't do because they just give you so much energy and you just don't care anymore and you want to feel the music.

It sounds dumb, but it's how it is, man.

I go the most insane at Matches shows; afterwards when I'm stumbling around looking for somewhere to buy a soda or use the bathroom or something else equally mundane, someone (WITHOUT FAIL) will always walk up to me and say "hey! I saw you in the pit" and I'll be all "o____o oh you did?"

God they're great. I envy you that you get to see them so soon - I have, er, 37 days to go.

^ Are you seeing them at Soundwave? I got the timetable for Perth today and they're on from 9:30pm-10pm. I'm more than slightly annoyed because a) It's a short set and b) It's going to take me an hour to get home afterwards and it's a school night -_-

But hey, it's The Matches ^^

And thank you for the ABIH download link hug I'm gonna go kill my internet now and download it.

I love The Matches. There is just something about them. Amazing band. They're coming
my way April 4th, my mom said I could go...I'm just having a transportation
problem. -_-

shawn harris.:
a band in hope is... wonderful. i've listened to it constantly for the past five/six days and i feel the songs already becoming the back of my hand, but they're not worn or boring.


Me too. That's the one thing I've noticed with them.
I can listen to them non-stop for hours/days/whatever (which I do)
and their albums never get boring. They just don't.


Anywho, as for A Band In Hope, I really love it. It has some really beautiful
and interesting songs on it.

fancy pirouettes.:

Shawn has awesome fucking clothes.

I also feel a need to post this, so people who haven't heard of them can see their amazingness:

CLICK THIS.

The video won't show up =[


I've seen that before and it is the most hilarious thing. I love them!
And I love how Matt does nothing the whole time.

I posted this on GSB, so I'll also post it here:

Image

Naughty

They're on the cover of AP, for the April edition.
It is out on newstands March 3rd.
This is one of four covers featuring all the bands
on the AP tour, so if you want this, you may have to scout a bit.

Also, this is an American magazine, so if you live elsewhere
you may have to go on a wild goose chase.

But OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG.

Holy shizz. I knew they did a shoot for AP but I didn't realise it would be out so soon. Yayyy.

But sadly I agree, it is gonna be a bit of a wild goose chase to get it here...

And has anyone seen these pics? The first one made me giggle. Whalen looks so devious and Shawn's all like "Oooh pretty floor..."
