I was told some stuff tonight but swore to secrecy... So all I can say is, sh*t happens. Gotta get over it. If people want to be bitter and hate Sis and STG... let them... who really cares.
darn secrecy. Always messing everything up for me. Yeah, I don't really care. I love all of them. So I will continue to love all of them. Doesn't matter what happened. I know what happened but I'm not sure if I'm allowed to say it on here

i think that they normally play club shows, where the stages are generally smaller. i actually prefer club shows over arena/large stage/festival shows, it's much more intimate.
plus, tickets for arena shows are normally $40-60, whereas club shows run about $15-30.
I do to you get closer to the band and you move iwth them and it makes you want to be on stage with them

1. Why don't they play on bigger stages? There is basically nowhere to move! lol. I dunno, but when I go to concerts, I love seeing every member jump around and move across stage, interacting with everyone. Well, I understand drums and keyboard can't, haha. But I mean, if they had a bigger stage, Sisely would have had more room to walk around and interact with the crowd.......
2. Because, especially in the "Le Disko" video, the crowd didn't seem too pleased or SOMETHING. I dunno, but isn't that the kind of music you dance to? Lol Everyone is just basically standing there.
But hey, at least you got good footage. Sisely's pretty good live - except when it seems like she's forcing her voice to hit the higher notes. But it's okay.
I perfer the smaller venues and stages it lets you get more intimate with them and connected

They DO like to play small places. They're always saying that. They love to be close to their fans and it is WAY more intimate.  mhhh

Yeah you're actually 100% right. The stage was super small, that's why at least Sisely couldn't dance around because apparently she's really good with the audience. Basically, the crowds that come out to see bands perform for concerts/shows suck. It's why many, many bands don't come back to Fresno or never come here because they know how disrespectful we are or how we're just not into it. I think that's why they didn't play any of the new songs for us, because the crowd just sucked. Here's why Paramore will never come back here....a few years ago they played a show and someone from the crowd threw an opened condom at Haley and it stuck to her shirt. She was pissed to say the least. Yep, and they've never been back here. All the good bands that play at warped tour skip over Fresno too  . Oh well. Just another reason why I want to leave this stupid town! lol. Wow, that really sucks! Poor Hayley. =[ No wonder everyone is telling bands on their myspace like "Why don't you ever come to Fresno?!?" and blah blah. I just thought it was because California is a popular spot for shows. Also, I keep hearing comments about how Sisely doesn't know how to dance or how to work a crowd and how Carah had unique dance moves, etc etc. I still think they could at LEAST upgrade to a House of Blues stage. I don't know how big they are in other states, but the one in Chicago is pretty small. Well, at least a little TOO small for bands like Avenged Sevenfold to play on when they did. I just think that Sisely would be able to move around more, show her moves. Because I know she has it in her. But it does seem difficult to get into a show when everyone is basically just standing around. And I think you can still be intimate with a crowd when you're on a bit of a bigger stage. It just all depends on how you interact with the crowd and get them going. The footage of "Le Disko" reminded me of those opening bands who no one knows and can hardly get into them, so they just stand there and kinda bob their heads along to the beat - even if the band is jumping all around stage. I dunno. Just how I feel. lol sometimes crowds can tear bands up but not STG

Yeah that's exactly how it was. They were the main band yet people just bopped heads around. When I wasn't recording I was jumping up and down and singing along. Although, as the show progressed, people warmed up and more people were dancing around but not nearly as much as they should have and only a handful of people looked they were actually enjoying it. lol sucked. I think a lot of people weren't dancing around for le disko because they were recording it (like me!) Though I wanted to jump around, I really wanted to capture that song. Meh, I duno. It was extremely hot in there and the stage was very small and the crowd was sucky. My guess.....they won't be back lol. *sigh* just another good band that had a bad experience in Fresno. We're notorious for scaring bands away..lol. I love being close to the band members when they play I get really into their music

Awwww, lol. Well, if they don't ever come back, then I guess you'll have to travel! haha. Which sucks, too. Chicago is a pretty popular place for concerts, so I hate when bands post their tour schedule and you have like 3 other spots in Illinois, but none of them are Chicago. Makes me mad. I guess that's how it feels with Fresno, but at least most bands come back. Hahaha.
well at least if I ever start a band I'll know not to play in Fresno

I think the reason why xkilx posted so many times is because he/she wants to get the most # of posts for the free cd.....xkilx you should know that the posts that you actually post will be seen through by admin and even if you have the most posts but they lack quality, you won't win.
