Music

i love meaningful lyrics

friday night (after my major hunt for an outfit) i went with a few friends to a sion show. the original idea was to support the warm up acts, as two of the bands included some good friends of ours. now, bearing in mind this particular auditorium can hold around about two hundred people, only about thirty turned up. however, the show went on, and the warm up acts were beyond amazing; covering several popular songs. sion are not a very well known band, although after the performance they gave, they should be. they are one of those rare bands whose recorded songs do not do them justice. (neither does this photo, and i apologise for the rather shocking iphone camera quality)granted. their style of music won't be to everyones taste, to be honest it wasn't to mine, but that shouldn't be a factor in this review. because of their unbelievable presence on stage, each band member brings something special. the vocals are flawless and the music is just stunning, and the bassist is crazy. my personal favourite song of theirs is their brand new single 'not with experience' (filmed in our school gym - strangely enough) and if you like that, check out 'drifting away' (alternately named 'wolf parade'). they're currently touring england and with cheap tickets this is such a great way to spend a friday night. i'm going to put myself out there on this one, and say that they are bordering on being the twenty first century nirvana.
