Never Heard Of It

This was the first time NHOI had played the Roxy, so we were in for a treat. Lots of energy and jumping around. Their sound was awesome... We got to hear a few new songs of a future Japan release of theirs. We even got the "Tequila Song", and others including "Satisfied", "This is Goodbye", "Hard headed", "I’ll change for now", "Stories Changing", and "Last Letter Read". The crowd was pretty intense. DJ successfully stage dived and crowd surfed, sang from on top of amps, and at one point, jumped from an amp and over Elmo and his drums. One of the best bands I have seen live, still.

Broken Horizon

I really enjoyed this band, and it was my first time ever hearing them. Their music was pretty good, and the band and crowd had a lot of interaction. They had a little song that was pretty much a chant of “no means fuck me” which was funny and got the crowd excited. Overall, great performance and I enjoyed it.

National Product

Covered “Let The Rain Fall Down” ("Come Clean") by Hilary Duff and poured water on the crowd. I was soaked 'til the next band. Really nice guys, thanked the crowd a lot. Lots of crowd interaction. Their music was awesome. The lead singer pulled a younger kid on stage, which was cool. The singer also tried selling some tix for another show of theirs, while they were on stage, and it worked. If you get a chance, you should really check 'em out. Their performance was intense.

Potentchokey

The lead singer had a wannabe Jesse James look going on. The music was so-so, but not bad. I sort of just zoned out during them. That is until the lead singer tried stage diving. And it didn’t work. Instead, he just like kicked 12 people in the head and landed on the floor. Hard. I tried to keep my laughing to a minimum for their last few songs. They gave away a band shirt and the girls next to me were fighting over it, which was rather funny also.
