Last night my fiance and I went to The Metro (a great venue, if you haven’t seen a show there) in Chicago to see Thrice. She bought me tickets for my birthday, and I enjoy their music immensely. Thrice was unbelievable and if you haven’t heard any of their music, please check them out. Everything I wanted them to play, they did (Broken Lungs, The Artist In The Ambulance, The Whaler, Burn the Fleet and more – Check the set list after the break). Their stage presence is awesome, the lyrics hit home (as they usually do) and their melodies took center stage. Whenever they come around again, I’m there.

I do want to give a quick word about one of their openers, Pelican. This band completely knocked my socks off. Pelican is four guys who play unbelievable music, which you are forced to listen to (in a good way), the one catch, they have no lyrics and no singer. These guys can play and play well. I suggest if you have a chance, check them out on iTunes or online. Check their newest video after the break.
