The Dimes, 17 Evergreen, Birdmonster & Tapes 'n Tapes in San Antonio + Mates Of State @ Emos in Austin

OK, this was a wacky-ass show. The crowd was so into this show! The show was kicked off by 17-year-old up-and-comers The Dimes, who with some time and refinement have some great promise. 17 Evergreen came next and helped get the crowd prepped for the rock to come. Birdmonter really were the stars of this show as they worked the crowd into a stage diving frenzy. Literally, some drunk ass, ran up to the stage, planted his foot and shot backwards, smashing into the floor with wild abandon...twice. It was gut-busting. Music For Listeners helped promote this show and it was pretty filled up. Tapes 'n Tapes, dispite being a little worn out and having some vocal issues, brought it like they always do and everyone left feeling fulfilled and excited for being at this show.

Mates Of State even dropped by to check out the bands. We had checked their show in Austin, the Saturday night previous. It was a great set. I'll put up some pics below. Anyway, thanks to all that came out. It was great to meet the friends and fans of MOKB, GvB and Rock Insider. Thanks to all of you who came out!

Also, San Antonio is really pretty. The Riverwalk is nice, the Alamo is cool and the people were so friendly. I want to thank Tapes 'n Tapes for the last couple days and shows, and for all the hanging out, beer drinking, story-telling and train-jumping...it's been a blast. I know you guys read all the hype about this band, but it couldn't be for a greater group of guys.
