Wilson, Tremonti and Trivium triumph at Mill City Nights!

Last night, I joined some good friends for the Trivium and Tremonti concert at Mill City Nights in downtown Minneapolis. I was looking forward to hanging out with friends that I hadn't seen in a while, at least not since Saturday's Sevendust show, anyway!

My friends and I got to the tiny arena in time for the first band, Wilson, to take the stage. They're kind of a fun band that reminds me of Andrew W.K.'s band a bit. This was my first time seeing them perform, although I was at one of their shows opening for Crobot at Pov's in Spring Lake Park, MN a few months ago. I missed that set, however, because I was, shall we say, a bit distracted by hanging out with friends at the time. This time around, my friends and I caught a great set!

Soon it was time for Alter Bridge and Creed axeman Mark Tremonti and his solo band to take the stage. This was the artist I was looking forward to finally seeing the most at this show. They did a great job of keeping the growing crowd thoroughly entertained throughout their set. I'm glad I got to experience this with some of my favorite concert friends!

I didn't know much about the final band, Trivium, although I'd heard some of their songs from their upcoming album recently. Although we didn't stay around for their full set, I thought they did a great job with their heavy original songs, and really kept up the energy throughout their set. I left before set's end with a couple of good friends, with good music and good memories buzzing in my head.

Well that's all for now, until next time, have a great week, everyone!
