lithron's Journal: Less Than Jake concert last night

Less Than Jake rocked the house in Atlanta last night. The confetti explosions and toilet paper blowers (what? they don't have snow in Gainsville where LTJ is from?) were awesome as usual. This was my third time seeing them and I think I'll see them again :-)

They even did a 'crappy song' meddly. Yeah.. 1 minute each of 4 songs. So I did get to hear Boomtown, Dopeman, and Automatic, and Throw the Brick. They even played Plastic Cup Politics and they didn't play that last time they were in town.

Big D and the Kids opened for LTJ. I can understand why the call themselves "the Kids"... those guys were about 15 years younger than LTJ. Overall I give the lead singer a B+ for effort (I mean, com'on he was jumping all around the stage like a frog, or so said my gf). I give the band a C- overall. The horns section needs to lower the volume and they need to decide if they're going to be punk or if they're going to be ska.

Yeah. And I saw creepy dreadlock dude again. I've seen him at a few different concerts there at the Masqurade.. most notably the last Less Than Jake concert. The good news about him is that he always seems to be enjoying himself and he isn't a jerk, so I guess he's a good kind of creepy. As if thats possible somehow.

Next concert: Dropkick Murphys are coming to town in March.

LTJ?!

Oh man. LTJ is my favorite band EVER. I started liking them back when Pezcore came out because I'm an absolute pez NUT, and it just ballooned from there. I've seen them live more times than I can even recollect. The best show was one where they were passing through Greenville, NC and decided they would find a venue and play. They did an impromptu show, and there were only about 15 people there. It was awesome times a million.

Rock!
