Just catching up on my blog after a busy few weeks! Also turned a year older since my last post, and celebrated the day with more great live music with friends, this time at a free concert headlined by Omaha, Nebraska natives Screaming for Silence at G.B. Leighton's Pickle Park in Fridley, MN on July 15th.
After a busy day of replying to birthday greetings and a filling birthday lunch with family, I made my way to the venue in time to greet some of my friends and accept more happy birthday wishes. The concert began with a few heavy metal numbers from locals Digital Homicide. Interesting band name, but I thought they did a good job of warming up the crowd for the next acts.
The second band were local favorites Matrekis. I hadn't seen this band live in over a year, but it sounded like they hadn't lost a beat since my last encounter. In fact, they seemed to be a little heavier with some roster changes. I enjoyed hearing them again, and my friends and I were entertained as we waited for the headliners to take the stage.
This would turn out to be my first of two Screaming for Silence experiences in a week's time, and I have to say that I'm glad friends recommended this band to me. They put on a great, heavy rock show full of driving anthems and a few softer songs tossed in for good measure. I was glad I could share this on my birthday with some of my favorite concert friends!
