Rock or Go Home!
Saturday was our big Rock or Go Home benefit concert for the San Antonio Food Bank and it was a huge success. It was at Hot Shot Billiards and it was full of people that wanted to listen to some great music and have a good time. The concert featured music from three local bands that rocked the house. We had two bands that were Battle Of The Bands winners and San Antonio’s own Father and Son band. Sin, Last Of Our Kind, and Memory Of A Melody were the amazing bands that performed. Having never seen Memory Of A Melody perform, I was defininitely surprised. They put on a great performance with their drums that had neon lights inside to the main singer juping on top of a table to sing to the crowd. I really enjoyed their music as well as their performance and I think the girls that were hanging around the stage did too. Last Of Our Kind (Look) as usual didn’t disappoint. I just love their music and was happy to hear them again. I know they have a huge following because when it was time for them to perform the floor in front of the stage was pakced full of fans. I have to mention Eric’s hair because it’s so fabulous. He loves his hair and so do I. Keep rockin your style Eric! LOOK mentioned that they are working on their demo and their first album should be out soon. Sin was the last to perform for the Rock Or Go Home concert and they were definitely worth the wait. They are so energetic and love interacting with the crowd whether it be walking into the crowd of fans or singing to one of their fans. Damien is always entertaining and unpredictable which makes for a great performance. Overall our benefit concert was a blast and we ended up raising a ton of money for the San Antonio Food Bank. Thanks to everyone that came out to support these locals bands and also a HUGE thanks to everyone that donated money for a great cause. See you at the next concert!

LOOK
Last Of Our Kind (LOOK) performed at Speedway Sports Bar last saturday and I cannot get their song ‘Giselle’ out of my head! I absolutely loved their music and can’t wait to hear them again. After their performance saturday, Chuck and I had a chance to interview them. The band members were so down to earth and just genuinely nice guys. It’s funny when you see a musician and think they’re going to be a certain way and they’re totally opposite. That’s exactly how I felt when we interviewed them. The guys talked about their hobbies which included….playing music (big surprise). Actually they mentioned they like to play Guitar Hero which I thought was so cool. The sound of their music has been called a cross between Dave Matthews Band and Los Lonely Boys. What I thought was amazing about their career is that every battle of the bands contest they’ve entered, they’ve made the finals. They actually had a chance to open for Dave Matthews Band in London, unfortunately it didn’t happen but they are here to stay and I wish them nothing but the best. If you haven’t heard them perform you have to come to Hot Shot Billiards to listen to 3 great bands. We will feature Last Of Our Kind, Sin, and Memory of a Melody. Hope to see you there!
