Ashley Will Rock For Food

Hooray for blogging! This is my first blog for Yes FM ever! Okay, well here we go.

Oh my goodness, I am so excited about the concert I'm going to tonight! It's Sanctus Real, This Beautiful Republic, and Needtobreathe. I am excited about ALL of the bands for pretty much unrelated reasons.

So, I basically became a Christian through Sanctus Real (their music and their ministry), therefore they are my favorite band. I just love seeing them in concert and talking to them, and the reason I'm MOST excited to see them tonight is. MY FIANCE HAS NEVER SEEN THEM AND HE'S COMING WITH ME!!! WOOHOO! So he finally gets to see my favorite band ever! We are both stoked.

So I'm also stoked to see TBR. I liked these guys back in the day when they were called Falling Upward and had a different lead singer and bassist. Well they were good then, and now they are AWESOME! Ben (lead singer) used to be in a different band at my church, and I was sad when that band broke up because I think he's an amazing singer. But then he joined up with TBR now they're like the coolest thing since ice cubes, so that's pretty cool if you ask me.

And THEN there's Needtobreathe! I don't have their CD, but I remember the first time I heard "You Are Here" when I started my internship here at Yes FM last summer. I'd have to do these survey calls, where I'd call people at home and ask them what they thought of songs, and play little music clips of each song. Well every time I played the clip of that song I just had this warm fuzzy feeling in my tummy, I loved it so much. Then they came out with the song "Shine On", and I got that same warm fuzzy feeling. Now more recently, they just released "Don't Wait For Daylight", and you guessed it! Same feeling! Their music just makes me feel so happy inside! I dont have any money really, but I fear that I might have to buy their CD at the concert if they're as good as I'm expecting them to be. (This might possibly be the longest paragraph I've ever written.)

So, there you have it, I am completely stoked for this concert. Dang, I just realized I forgot my ear plugs. I wear ear plugs at concerts because I am half deaf already and dont need any more tiny hairs in my ears to die due to my love of rock music. I must be getting old.

On a side note, you know how people wear those "Mosh For Jesus" shirts or whatever? I think we should start a new slogan. "BLOG FOR YES FM!" Chant it with me, Blog For Yes FM, Blog For Yes FM, Blog For Yes FM..... Nothing? Yeah, me either.
