This time Anberlin’s back in Melbourne for the 2nd time this year and it was brilliant. Although I’ve seen them at Soundwave 09,why not see them live another time? I didn’t bother remembering the setlist but most songs were from Cities and New Surrender. I thought they should’ve given us a better encore. I always think a slow song doesn’t end the night proper. Nobody wants to feel sad thinking it’s all going to be over once these guys finishes the song.

Alright Update with the Set List they played that night.

Resistance
Disappear
Breaking
Adelaide
A Day Late
Paperthin Hymn
Inevitable
The Unwinding Cable Car
Hello Alone
True Faith (cover)
Dismantle.Repair.
Godspeed
Feel Good Drag Fin (encore)

tall guy.

Why don’t tall guys at gigs realise that they’re just too tall for the crowd. Of course, everyone would like to get a close-up view of their favorite band but it’s nice to always consider the crowd behind. Tall guys pretty much get a better view from the back anyways! If I were in his shoes I’d just pick up a short girl by letting her stand in front of me for the night instead of her standing behind sweat-filled t-shirts. Uber score.

with my so-so camera skils

Almost the end.

Brilliant show, wished they played more songs. I bought the first two albums from the merch shop, 20 bucks each, pretty decent!! Hope to see them again real soon!

Soundwave has been an annual thing for me so I won’t be missing out in next year’s event. Ticket sales for early bird tickets start this week but not much information is released. I’m guessing it’ll be out on Friday.

Bands that I look forward to are:

AFI
MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE
TAKING BACK SUNDAY
ALEXISONFIRE
PARAMORE

The All-American Rejects concert happens to coincide with my buddy’s birthday so I’m going with him! What do you think will be tonight’s AAR setlist? Make sure you’re all out screaming tonight as I’ll be doing so too.

The setlist should be something like this tonight, I hope.

Updated: with the songs they played, quite as predicted but they included lots of songs from their old album! The show was super fkn gooood!!!!!! So much interaction with the crowd and I think the best moment was at the end where everyone just got so hyped up for the encore.. Gives You Hell was played right at the end and it was fucking amazing! Great crowd interactions, as expected from AAR. Big credits to Hoobastank too, they basically sang all my favourite song from The Reason album. “Out of Control”, “Same Direction” and tons of quality songs. Not to forgot The Reason itself! Everyone just went crazy lol. GOOD SHOW.

Setlist (not quite complete. I forgot. Maybe a Good Samaritan can help me out here?) (Complete now thanks to Lulu!) :D

Fallin’ Apart
