I've Waited Years For This Concert!!!
by Chaoticdissident on 2009-07-15THE MUSIC HALL - LONDONRating: 5 out of 5Strike Anywhere and Propagandhi touring TOGETHER?! Talk about punk rock at its best!
I'm speaking informally here, but I really wanted to let everyone know just how amazing this concert was. I've been listening to punk music for as long as I remember and throughout the years, it has inspired me to pursue a deep involvement in politics and activism.
I remember Propagandhi played in London a while ago at the Salt Lounge and I wasn't able to get a ticket in time. I decided to head out to the event in the hopes of getting a ticket at the door after I was told that some would be available, but I wasn't nineteen at the time so everyone of age got priority over me and I was left in the rain when they sold out. I vowed to make up for this most unfortunate turn of events one day because Propagandhi is one of my favourite bands!
Fast forward a few years later to this past June the 20th where I was finally able to fulfill my wish thanks to Ticketmaster's useful online services! Who knew insuring your admittance to an unforgettable concert was so easy?
I was ecstatic to see that the tour was promoting awareness against the atrocious Tar Sands, as this is an environmental issue that desperately needs to be addressed; there were representatives who were handing stickers out, seeking names for support and I even got to speak my mind and contribute to a video commentary that was being recorded! I also met some awesome people!
Great show, great bands, great mosh, great cause, great venue (I saw the Cancer Bats there last December)... Overall, there really isn't ANYTHING more I could have asked for from this concert experience (right down to how easy it was to buy my ticket online).
I was so excited that night when I got home that I bought a ticket to their upcoming show scheduled six days later in Toronto!
