Antiskeptic

Story of my life, I'm always behind the times. I usually am the last to know about stuff, complete stuff way too late (my fault for procrastination) or start to like things when ppl are soooo over it.

This time, it is related to the music world. I've always been quite behind times with regards to bands, new songs, what's going on with the band etc etc. I went to a concert last Saturday with a few friends to go watch this Australian band that they wanted to see. They are called Antiskeptic and I looked at their myspace page and thought, oh yeah, they sound pretty good. Went to see them, decided that I loved their music. Awesome! I should go see them next time they come down. Then I realized what the tour was called. "The Goodbye Goodnight Tour". They were breaking up after 10 years of contributing to the Australian music industry! They wanted to go off and do their own thing and fair enough, the life of a musician isn't exactly one that should last a lifetime. I mean its not exactly a family life is it?

Anyway, they are an awesome band. Although I listen to most music genres with no exceptional preference, I've always been the picky one in regards to Rock. Well, these guys are one of d top on my list as I loved every song that they played in the concert and that, for a Rock band, is pretty rare for me.

I was very surprised with myself and somewhat proud as it has been quite a while since I have managed to be out in public, let me rephrase that - out in a crowded area, without having a panic attack. Given, I did have one before I went out but at least I managed to go out even after having one and not panicking in d concert! :) Might have something to do with music though. "The most savage of beasts can be tamed with a song" I wonder how true that saying can be. Should I try to test it out?
