Kings of Leon Concert

Last night Shane and I got last minute tickets from a friend. We had been contemplating going to this concert for months, being unemployed makes you less likely to do expensive things like concerts. But, I am soooo glad we went! It was an AMAZING concert! If you haven't heard Kings of Leon, their story is an interesting one. They are brothers and one cousin, all sons of a traveling preacher, and their songs, while sometimes "mush-mouthed" have some great lyrics and the energy behind their music made for a great concert. We saw them at the Orpheum in Boston and I had never been in there, it's a lot like the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall in Portland and it made for some great sound. The Kings would be great at the Pavilion next summer, but I will leave that to their manager to figure out. :-) To learn more about Kings of Leon, check out their history on Wikipedia!
