Tuesday Tunes

This past Sunday, my sisters and I braved the crowds and searing heat and went to see the Bamboozle Roadshow! It was, in a word, incredible!
(more to come on that experience later...)

While walking aimlessly around Fiesta Texas trying to find the ever elusive main stage, we stumbled across the merch section of the event. Because it had ended up being more than we had anticipated to get into the show/park, we were trying to walk quickly through, avoiding eye contact, in order to avoid temptation if you will.

We were stopped in our tracks though, by a call of "Hey, you three! Yes, you."
We turned around, incredulously. Who in the world was talking to us?
It was this tall, slightly sunburned, wavy haired brunette.
"Hey, look," he said, as he proceeded to lift his wrist into the air and show us his bracelet which read: I HEART REDHEADS. :)
My sisters and I all have varying shades of reddish hair and so were slightly flattered to be shown such attention.

After some slight persuasion we agreed to come into their tent and listen to this guy's "f-ing awesome band (according to him)," being promised that we would love it.

And oh boy, did we!!!

It was such an incredible group to hear even after only 30 seconds of listening.
10 minutes later, we left the tent all the happier for stumbling (literally) across this amazing-ness The Sunstreak.

I am so in love with them it's insane.

The guy we met was the bass player, Jason Sarkis, pictured above second from the right. We even got to buy their CD at a discounted price because we're just that awesome. And so is their album by the way. You may have heard of them actually as One Year Nothing. Apparently that was their name originally.

There is a lot more to this story but somehow this post just doesn't seem to be doing them (or the experience) quite enough justice. But if you are into alternative/rock/pop music then this just very well be your new favorite band.

Feel free to check them out yourself :). Here is just a sampling of their music:

So what did you think? Any thoughts would be very appreciated. I hope everyone had a fantastic Tuesday! Until next time...

Haha...ahh that guy was funny. "You people down here are soo rude"--glares--"But not you guys!" As weird as it was I'm glad we met him. :D

This was a wonderful time with you guys, so many good bands, so many inside jokes. I couldn't believe it when this guy approached us, and how Jessica totally shot him down. So funny, so classic!
