Friday Night Research Paper

Improved Essays
It's Friday night, I've worked all week. What better way to unwind or should I say treat myself, than to head over to Angel's Rock Bar in Baltimore, MD to check out hometown legends Silvertung on the first night of their headlining North American Tour " Hit The Pavement". Oh wait, did I say unwind? Well I meant to say wound up. But not before supporting act VIA took to the stage with their gritty vocals and down & dirty lyrics. Who would have known they drove 26 hours straight from Minneapolis, Minnesota. Via's set was unexpected and unwavering. Following VIA's set, Vajra took to the floor (literally). Fronted by Annamaria Pinna, Vajra's eccentric performance took me on a musical magical carpet ride taking all 5 senses to places unexplored.
I loved Friday night's show so much that I traveled out of Baltimore to see the show again. Playing this time at The Chameleon Club in Lancaster, PA. Tonight's show brought on a whole different experience. Having been my first time at The Chameleon

"Out Of The Box" delivers everything I love in a metal band. Long hair with tattoos, eargasmic guitar riffs and drumstick splitting breakdowns followed by those lyrics that make you want to punch the person next to you. If you don't know who Silvertung is, or haven't Googled them after reading the first paragraph, just ask Tung Nation. Like Satan has his followers or Justin Beiber has his Beliebers, Tung Nation is a collection of fans that have supported Silvertung from the very beginning. They know every word to every song ever written by the band and is growing day by day. So get in your car, make the trip to see them on tour, you’ll see what the fuss is all about. I’m a Marylander that can honestly say that I am proud to part of a state that birthed such talent. Long Live Tung Nation and Rock On

    On Wednesday November 23, 2016 I had quite the experience of my life. For the first time, I attended an actual concert, and not just any concert. I was blessed with a free ticket to go see Joe Bonamassa at the Altria Theater here in Richmond, Virginia. With a little research, I discovered that Joe Bonamassa is a Grammy- nominated blues -rock guitarist. At the time I was given the ticket to go see him preform, I felt no sense of excitement, I never even heard of him before that day nor did I listen to blues-rock.…

    One of such occurrences was when Page himself told the Classic Rock Society he was “not really sure where [they] got that tag,” and that “the reality of it is that this is riff music, and riff music goes back to the blues.” He even got in an argument with the New York Times, who called them a “seminal heavy metal band.” Some view their third studio album as a response to such labels, and that had some influence on them demonstrating their more acoustic, blues, and folk styles. When listening to s song like “Tangerine,” there is no metal to be heard, therefore the band can not be classified as such.…

    By focusing on one band from each separate decade within the alternative rock era, the overall time lapse and growth of musical impact will be evident to the viewers. Through a pedagogical standpoint, this broadcast will teach audiences, in simple terms, why alternative rock is important. The whole genre is reminiscent of a time when emotions such as anger, passion. and love overtook all else. The feelings that arose from war and conflict transitioned into a musical language that people of all ages could identify with.…
