Live Review: Dax Riggs in Akron

Whatup doods? Anyway, some things to go over. Sorry for the lack of updates, I've been extremely busy and have not been sleeping much lately, heh. I should probably be doing something else other than this, but the sacrifice must be made. As some of you know, I went with a few friends to the Dax Riggs show in Akron. I had a blast... (if it wasn't for the damn speeding ticket on the way there!)

Anyway heres a pic, and again it's just a low quality camera phone picture. My buddy took a bunch of pictures, so when I get a hold of them I'll probably upload 'em up here.

The show started out pretty calm, Dax did some slower songs, with that other guy (whose name elludes me) on acoustic guitar. After a few songs, the guy moved to drums and he could really beat the cans, they were awesome. Dax played alot of stuff from his new album, "We Sing of Only Blood or Love", which I thought was a decent album. He played some Deadboy stuff and some others, but never got to "Ancient Man" or "Walking Stick", two of my favorites. It seemed like they didn't know all their songs, Dax had sheet music in front of him and kept saying "we don't know that one", when people shouted out requests. Either way, it was a really cool show.

Oh and a little sidenote, my buddy bought the vinyl and had Dax scratch his name into it, really cool of him. I guess they were going to play the following day after the super bowl as well. My friend from akron was gonna go, but I had to head back to Columbus. Overall, really good show, kinda short, but they made up for it. If only I wouldn't have gotten that speeding ticket....haha, damn.
