Friday, I went to see Venus Infers at the glass house and The Higher at chain reaction.

Venus Infers had such a great set and there were a good amount of people there considering they were second on the setlist of about 6 bands or so. Their new material is really good. If you didn't know it, you would think this band is from the UK british area. Their sound is similar to bands such as Kings of Leon. Venus Infers may sound like they are from overseas but they are from the oc area and if you haven't checked them out already , do so, their music will blow you away.

I don't have a picture from The Higher show at chain reaction because I was just too excited to see them again! I got to chain about five minutes before they went on. The guys came out and opened the set with their new cover song, Closer by Ne-Yo, which by the way was excellent. This band has such great stage prescense live. They played many favorites such as Insurance, Weapons Wired and Rock My Body. A highlight of the night was when The Higher played Diaries from their Histrionics cd. When the band started playing and Seth sang the lyrics "I'm gonna give it away to you!" the crowd went crazy and was so loud! Also the guys played a few new songs off their upcoming record(out in june seth said), one I had already heard on their last tour they were on. I was blown away again by their set and have decided that you can NEVER see The Higher TOO many times live. =)
