I am picturing in my head Ian fanboying and going crazy in front of the band and them just staring.

Dude what do you think it was like when I met Toby Driver?

I still haven't really gotten into the first two albums properly, The Valley is just that much better.

I'd probably rank them: Combinations, Room Noises and The Valley, but they are all great really.

Well that was pretty much the most beautiful thing ever. I didn't get to meet them though, I had to leave :sadpanda:


Set from what I can remember:

Ambulance
Smarter
Sad
Invasion
Golly Sandra
Better Love
I Wish
Mr. Moon
Please
One Last Song (new)
I Wasn't Prepared
Many Funerals
I Could Be There for You
Lights Out (new)
Oxygen Mask
Kind
192 Days (just the girls)


All of the new songs were great, I'm psyched for the EP now. Also met up with H, eh's a pretty cool guy.

Also, Stacey is absolutely gorgeous. Like, holy shit. Chauntelle is also a great singer, I hope she does more stuff on their next record.

How were the new songs?

Hearing Ambulance for the first time at my first Eisley show before The Valley even came out was one of my favorite concert experiences ever.
Cole: "Ow I just got hit in the balls"
Me: "How?"
Cole: "Well you know when you try to scratch your balls, and you scratch too hard?
I'll admit sometimes I want to listen to Dragonforce.

Ambulance was a great opener.  I think you said you thought it would be the closer?  Oh well, either way it's a great song that I underrated before.

They didn't come out until like 12, at which point I was waiting in my car.  When they finally came out, I realized how awkward it would be if I just walked out of my car like a creepo, so I chickened out. :lol

Also, some dancing clapping dude from the back maneuvered his way to the front of the stage and got up with them.  It was pretty hilarious.

That's what I thought, but I honestly had no idea what I was talking about, I was just guessing.


How were the new songs?

Fan-fucking-tastic. One Last Song had this sexy as fuck instrumental bit with a solo from Chauntelle. Pants were smileed.

Also, Many Funerals absolutely slayed. I was never a huge fan of the studio version, but it kicked ass live.

I can imagine so. Many Funerals is ferocious by Eisley standards.

I can agree with that.  It was a bit too loud for me...I'd like it if they kept it around Christie's volume level.

At the show now....holy shit, Christie has such a beautiful voice. And I've already seen Weston. Stacy, and Chauntelle just walking around.

And just as I post that, I turn around and see Sherri :-D

Amazing show. Highlights for me were Many Funerals and Mr Moon, but every song was incredible. Stacy and Sherri sing so well live, and Chauntelle's part in ICBTFY was perfect. I wish I had recorded it.

 I met the band after the show and got my ticket signed. I was so fucking nervous talking to them...I hope they didn't notice. I told Sherri that I spent two months listening to Room Noises on repeat. Then Stacy and Chauntelle both told me that they loved my shirt, and I high fived Stacy. :D

I have a pic with them, but I'm having trouble uploading it from my phone. I'll post it later.

Ok...unfortunately, two pictures were being taken at the same time here. Someone else was posing with them on Weston's side (who isn't in the shot for some reason). That's why Chauntelle is looking off in a different direction, and probably explains why Sherri looks so confused. I think she was the only one who knew what was going on, and she didn't know where to look. :lol

Oh well. At least Stacy knows what's up.

The Valley is solid...but man, how can you beat Room Noises?  It's like...a perfect album.  You guys know how critical I am of everything, and I can't think of a single thing wrong with any moment of Room Noises.

I agree that Room Noises is pretty much flawless, but I like Combinations and The Valley just as much to be honest.
They are all really good albums.
