I Heart BFS

Last night's Bowling for Soup concert may very well have been the best concert I've been to yet.  This is third time I have gone to one of their concerts and I swear they only keep getting better.  Nothing happened like at the first two concerts.  If you want to know more about them go back to the blog post from February 2010 titled Bowling for Soup, Hey! 

They have more energy and stage presence then any other band I've seen live, and that is what really makes a show.  The songs are all great, and of course I knew every single word to every single song.  And of course I sang right along, more like screamed along it was so loud.  I even noticed that in a couple of songs they changed the lyrics, like in one instead of a Jonas Brothers movie it was a Justin Beiber movie.  Listen to No Hablo Ingles and you'll get it.

But some of the best moments weren't even the songs.  These guys can go off on tangents that are so funny that you wouldn't even believe it unless you were there.  Like Eric Chandler doing impressions, most notably Bill Cosby.  Jaret would try to tell stories, but always got interrupted by either the band or the audience.  He then proceeded to tell the guy in the audience that he was speaking and when he had a microphone he could talk to.  You had to be there.  Things kept breaking, and they attributed this to how much they were rocking out.  Jaret told the parents in the audience that they were the coolest parents ever for bringing their children, and even tried to tell them that they were even teaching them.  Like Spanish, go back to the song No Hablo Ingles. 

They played two songs as an encore, The Bitch Song and Really Cool Dance Song.  Although I think this may have been planned because the same thing happened at the last concert of theirs I went to.  They headed off stage as if done, the crowd begins chanting their name (myself included), and they come back on stage.  I'm not complaining because I got two more wicked cool songs out of the experience.  Which included Jaret, the lead singer, coming out into the audience. 

Best night ever.  If you want to see a concert that is non-stop fun, great music, and that will at various times have you laughing your ass off.  Then you need to see these guys.  Bowling for Soup will be one of the best concerts you find yourself at.

BFS, continue to rock hard, and I'll continue to love you all!
