I would just like to comment that I LOVE your icon. :)

CL opening for BTE is my ultimate. Man. Not sure it's a good pairing for the rest of the world. But...man. Have fun!!! :)

::looks longingly in the direction of Chicago::

I *like* BTE well enough... their music just isn't really grabbing me like certain other groups have. They're definitely a band that I would see if presented the opportunity (like, say, if another band I adore is opening for them... :) ), but not someone that I feel I need to go out of my way to see.

Collective Soul, on the other hand, I am REALLY liking. I never realized that I knew so many of their songs. Have I mentioned not being able to wait until January? :)

You should come visit Chicago... ;)

Have you seen them live, though? That's really their strength. I was "eh" about their music before catching them at a free beach show (many, many years ago). They have so much energy, absolutely *love* what they do, and are just really entertaining. I list them as my favorite band to see live, but only because it's a lot rarer than I see CL. Individual shows from those two artists are constantly fighting for the crown of "favorite. show. ever." I think right now we have a tie between the BTE Rock Boat Mikado show and Jenn's CL birthday show in Feb. It's funny because the two acts are very different and I would only ever pair them up for my own amusement.

And this concludes today's hard-sell of Better than Ezra. Join us again next time when we tout a band that reminds me of a mid-90s BTE: Wideawake.

(and yeah, don't think I haven't already asked 2 cl/bte fans if they wanna go to Chicago this summer. ::grin:: )

they're not really opening for BTE, ya know. they're just playing a different spot in the line up.. its more festival like.. they just have bands on the stage all day. and their spot this year is a step up from last time they played there.. which will be nice, b/c 330 was HOT. i boiled to death.

Ok... did you actually get my response to this? 'Cause it doesn't appear to be showing up on my page. o.0

[semijocund]

Nope :(

[moryssa]

I'd never heard of it before GS announced they were playing there... but yes, I was aware that they'd be in town. :)

Mmm... Taters! :D
