Great show yesterday in San Antonio.
Stretch Arm Strong opened up a huge show at San Antonio's Sunken Gardens Amphitheater. Also on the bill were MxPx, Good Charlotte, and New Found Glory.
This was THE show to be at for a young male. The ratio was something like 20 girls for every boy. Wow.
Stretch kicked butt. A couple new songs, as well as "For The Record" and "I Melt With You."
MxPx came out to the intro of The Who's "Baba O'Reilly," to which they played along with for a few measures once plugged in. They whipped through several songs, including two new ones that were really good. The first (I think) was called "Broken Hearted," and had big hooks and a great melody. The second was really heavy, with some metal drumming that was nice. They closed off with "Punk Rawk Show," to which Herrera introduced as a song, "we've been playing for ten years and a song we'll play until we die."
Both bands did a professional and courteous job of warming up the crowd for Good Charlotte (who returned the favor to MxPx, who took them out on the road last year) and New Found Glory.
Two interns are arriving this week, to get a taste of deadline right away. We hope to have our files shipped to the printer on Friday, and take in a nice 3-day weekend.
