Chiquita on the Hit the Lights Concert Yeah Yeah!!! (pre-concert)

In less than 8 hours, I will be at the House of Bricks, seeing one of my favorite bands live. I have listened to Hit the Lights for a long time. I was first introduced to them by my best friend Rachel, with whom I share a love of this genre of music. I feel like the genre would be somewhere between Electronica and Alternative. Other bands that will be there include; There for Tomorrow, Sparks the Rescue, and This Time Next Year. I haven’t really listened to the other bands a ton, but I’ve checked it out and they all sound pretty good. Normally it’s just Rachel and I who go to the concerts, but this time our friend who’s in our Philosophy class, Ike, is coming with us. Ike is quite a character, so the trip to Des Moines and the concert should be pretty interesting. I’m excited to see what Rachel’s mom, who is giving us the ride, will think of him.
Anyways, back to Hit the Lights. They formed the band in 2003, and the name came from some 80’s movie that I’ve never seen. The band members are: Nick Thompson on lead vocals, Omar Zehery on guitar, Kevin Mahoney on guitar and back up vocals, David Bermosk on bass and helping out with the back up vocals, Nathan VanDame on drums, Paloma Saenz on guitars and some vocals. My favorite album of theirs is called, “Skip School, Start Fights” and my favorite song is “Drop the Girl”. I’m super excited about this concert, maybe it will top the 3oh!3 concert? Hmm, I don’t know about that, that concert was probably the best I’ve ever been to! I will definitely let you know if its good though!
