Yashin Glasgow 17/11/12

Hey Guys

Its back to this time again, where I reminisce of yet another gig I've been too.

Although this one I will admit out of the 3 support acts, I only seen 1 which is bad, but due to other life plans I couldn't get through to see every band play live. But hey that's life. 

Im not sure what the name of the bands I missed were, so as I don't know their names I cant mention them or give them a review. So the only support I seen was a German band called We butter our bread with butter. Kind of a long name for a band but I don't pick the names of bands.

So as i arrived to the gig late the one plus side of it was not having to wait to get into the venue. But when I did get inside, We butter our bread with butter were just setting up so, I managed to get their full set, to get a good opinion on them. Which as a fan of music, I was a little bit confused as to which sort of music they play. As its between a screamo, dubstep with a hint of rock. I for one isnt one for both dubstep and a lot of screamo in the music, I just cant understand a word they say. Dubstep I can listen too, but it doesnt mean i would go and buy some dubstep tracks on itunes. That being said they got the crowd off their feet and moving.

So I was roughly 3 people away from the safety barrier when Yashin came on stage, which is amazing as to how late i was. As it was a homecrowd for the band, there was an amazing atmosphere when the lads came out on stage. Yashin a band from Glasgow consist of Kevin Miles, Paul Travers, Andy Mcshane, Dave Beaton and not forgetting the adorable Harry Radford who hails from Florida. The group had a new addition to the group as Lewis Millen had decided to leave the band before tour, so in his place is Connor MacLeod. The guys were amazing as always and got the crowd going crazy. As part of the crowd, I also took part in the Yashin 360, that Harry invented a few dates before the Glasgow show. The Yashin 360 is jumping on the spot and turn around as in a 360 degrees. 
Harry has such a way with words and says many things beyond his years. Which to me is inspiring, before the song 'Stand up' he told the crowd who we had wrote the song for/about and then told the crowd 'that no matter how hard things get and how bad we feel, we always have Yashin to turn too and that the band was there for them no matter what!' Which to me means a lot as ive had a rough few weeks and they will continue to be fairly rocky for the foreseeable future, which kinda sucks. The song to me which has got me through so many dark hours recently is Runaway Train, especially the first verse that Harry sings

They also done a cover of Linkin Park's one step closer, which was incredible, they also have a video of them singing it, on their youtube. 

here is a couple of my videos from the night.

Please beware that these videos are my own from the night and whilst being in the crowd the video is not the best quality. The first one i of 'Stand up' and the second one is of 'one step closer'

This just gives you a bit more of an insight of how amazing they are live, you all have to go see them play live. The music is insanely good, the boys themselves are such nice genuine lads who appreciate what the fans do for them, even more so than the groups and bands with a huge record label behind them. If you like what you hear and see on the videos please go and buy some of their music, it really does make the world of difference to the band.


Anyway guys, going to leave it there and insert some pictures of the night when i get a chance.

Bye

Halloween & bonfire's night 2012

Hey Guys...

Cant believe its past this time of year again. This year has gone by so quickly.
Hope everyone is well and had a good halloween and a safe bonfires night.

Im going to just jump right into this post and tell you what i done for them both.

On halloween, I was lucky enough to get some tickets to see Shinedown at the HMV Picturehouse in Edinburgh. The support acts were Exit Ten and Redlight King (Redlight King), before the gig I had never heard of either of these bands. 
I never got to hear much of Exit Ten, as they had already started before I had got inside the venue. Which for me is weird as I got inside the venue around 10 minutes after the door opened. So I couldn't really accumulate a sense of what they are like as a band and what their music is like. 
On the other hand though, I did kinda love Redlight King, first time hearing any of their songs and seeing them play live. I would go and see them again if the toured close enough to me.
Then the main act came on Shinedown, myself personally I don't think there were enough words to describe how intense the gig was, but it was so inspiring and motivating. I've never been to a gig that has done that before. Brent Smith does definitely has a way with words and his southern american voice easily got inside my head and spoke to me. They played a good mixture of their songs between the new album, Amaryllis and their earlier 3 albums. 
They put both of favourite songs together on the setlist so I had quite a crazy 10 minutes, but totally worth it. I might put up the videos I got on to my youtube. 
This is definitely one band i think everyone should see live. I will most definitely be seeing them live again, when they come back to the UK. 

Bonfire Night

On bonfire night, I went to see some local display of fireworks, with family. My four year old nephew absolutely loved them and giggled all the way through the 35 minute display. They were beautiful and the location was is normally picturesque when in daylight, as its about 5 metres away from the local beach. There was definitely around 200+ people out to watch them. To make it better, they were free to watch. So that does make for a very happy Marion, Ha.


thanks guys

Update chat thing!!

Hey guys,
Sorry I have been off the radar for a few weeks.

I have been spending most of my time traveling to and from nursery runs, looking for jobs and doing some interviews.
But the good news is I'm back and I have a few posts that should be hitting your screens in the next few days.
You should expect to see what I don't for Halloween and probably what I'm doing tonight for bonfire night.
Also some more make up/ beauty reviews, a tutorial and a mini look book.
I'm also wanting to do some tag posts, so I'm on the look out for some good ones to do!! If you have any you would like me to do on here or film them please leave a comment below.
Thanks guys

Will see y'all very soon
