To be honest, I kind of got over going to concerts. Maybe it’s the fact that the last five I’ve been to were either free or as a favor to someone. Or maybe it’s all the ‘winners’ that are always there that have too good of a time, and either spill some crap on me or grind the back half of my body to the point of violation. Either way, I was really starting to hate going to these things…that is, before this past Saturday.

I had the amazing pleasure of seeing ‘the future of music’ live. If you know me, or if you read any of the quality material I write on this thing, you are quite familiar with the fact that I am infatuated with The xx. Let me tell you, they didn’t disappoint. Even though they were a band member short, they still managed to kill it. I can honest say I have never seen anything like it. I could literally FEEL the emotion infused in every song. It was like reading ‘The Little Engine That Could’ for the first time, I just wanted to cry.

As if seeing them live wasn’t enough, I also had the pleasure of meeting them. Normally bands are asses, but this wasn’t the case. From being extremely soft spoken, to the fact that they were genuinely friendly, everything about them as band is perfect.

If you get the chance to see them live- go. If they are coming to any city within 80 miles of where you live- go. They will not disappoint, and you can say you saw them before they got big (because they will), and all your friends will think you’re really ‘indie’ or some crap.
