Travis

Hello Blog readers,

I just got back from seeing Travis at the Centre for Performing Arts. What a great venue to see a show. i took a few pics with my camera phone…not the greatest phone but there are some cool shots in there…

A few highlites from the show:

- the came onto the show to the them song from rocky, dressed in boxing robes
- fran, the lead singer played a song unplugged with just his voice. by this i mean he de-amped his guitar and sang without a mic
- they were full on energy and banter
- the guitarist andy went into the crowd during one song to play his solo
- a guy started to yell out about how the band gave free tickets to this old japanese couple. turned out that they were old friends of fran’s mom. the ladies name was dot and he asked if they liked the show. the cute couple seemed slightly embarrassed
- they did a cover of the weight by the band
- sing and why does it always rain on me and writing to reach you were very strong songs
- thats all i can think of right now…
