Maybe almost 2 months delayed, whatever. And here I am, still in my pajamas at 4PM, thinking about how I'm in a Grace Potter mood today.</p> <p>You know how sometimes there are those moments in your life when you look around you and know you're standing in the middle of something you'll never forget? I have those all the time. Maybe I'm lucky, maybe I get excited about things a little too easily. Which one of those caused me to send Grace Potter and the Nocturnals a message back in April, I'll never know. But I'm glad I did, because helping organize and run the street team for this band has been one of the best experiences I've ever had. Who the hell doesn't want to help their favorite band get the recognition they deserve?</p> <p>This band has the ability to blow me away, give me chills, make a lousy day better, and best of all, they really took care of me at their show. Taking care of me means gigantic bear hugs when I stopped by the merch table to say hello, a trip backstage to <span>FEED</span> my best friend and I because we were starving and talking about Burger King, free posters, tickets, and you can't forget the pictures...</p> <p><img src="http://mog.com/images/users/0000/0021/0390/images/1196282561.pjpeg" /></p> <p>During the show, they played a new-ish song called Sinking Man. I've gone on archive.org and listened to the song at a few other shows, and I'm happy to say I like the one played at the UB show the most. I think it's one of my favorite songs now...it's got a great energy to it and Grace's voice absolutely flies over the top of it.</p> <p>If you ever get the chance to go to a show, do <span>NOT</span> pass it up. You're pretty much guaranteed an amazing time, whether you're focused on the quality of the music or the energy of the crowd. Or maybe you're focused on Grace, because she's gorgeous. Or maybe if you're like me, you think Bryan is adorable and you like watching him dance while he plays bass. The point is that they have it all. Virtually everything you could want at a live show, you can find here.</p> <p>The latest single, Ain't No Time, is awesome. It's a little bit softer sounding than a lot of what they do, the lyrics are political but not in-your-face. Of course I love everything they do, but I really recommend this song to anyone entering the <span>GPTN</span> world. Take a look at the video....</p> <a href="javascript://playYoutube" onclick="Player.toggleYoutube('youtubepichGCocGti4iQ','youtubecontrolhGCocGti4iQ','hGCocGti4iQ','youtubevideohGCocGti4iQ',127329)"> <img class="play" src="http://i.ytimg.com/vi/hGCocGti4iQ/default.jpg" id="youtubepichGCocGti4iQ" height="318" style="margin:20px 0 0;" width="424" /> <img class="control" src="/images/youtube_controls.gif" id="youtubecontrolhGCocGti4iQ" height="17" style="margin:0 0 20px;" width="424" /> </a> <div id="youtubevideohGCocGti4iQ">&nbsp;</div> <p>Let me hear some good things, show me your pictures from shows...I want to see them!</p> <p>And to my Potterville Posse people--thanks guys for everything you're doing!</p> Wed, 28 Nov 2007 20:59:58 GMT http://mog.com/hannarenae/blog/127329 hannarenae
