... We went to the Chester French show at Highline Ballroom. The opening act was Hollywood Holt-- from Chicago (pictured above)...
And his dee-jay Million Dollar Maino (LOL, I couldn't make this up folks!). We had a good time though. The music was different. It was like a fusion of electro-beats with a hardcore rock edge and loud chant-like lyrics. It was different-- and I liked it! Holt was very involved with the crowd which was awesome. He had so much energy-- notice how his clothes become progressively less and less on stage! LOL...
I like his style. He says he likes to make fun of himself before anyone else can, so he called his music weird and he said his pants were too tight. I loved it! He really got the crowd involved-- good showmanship makes great stars!
Towards the end of the set, the dee-jay joined the stage for the last song, and they rocked it out! It was a great time!
Next up was Chester French. For those of you that don't know, they are signed to Pharrell's "Star Trak" imprint. They're his latest protege, and they are blowing up! I really like this band! They are young, fresh, full of energy and their songs are cute, thoughtful and fun. Sometimes heir lyrics can be dark and though provoking, but for the most part it was a lot of fun...
Ya boy actually broke that tambourine he's playing in that pic above. He was going IN! And as soon as he broke it, he shrugged and tossed it to the crowd, and girls were going crazy over it! This is how I knew that these guys were here to stay. Once you got the teeny-boppers? It's over! Haha.
