Last week we went to Redfest at the U of U (free for students). The line-up: Fun, Mates of State, Ben Lee. We only wanted to see Mates of State but decided to catch Fun anyways (same lead singer as The Format). They were....decent. But Mates of State were amazing. We tried to catch their show a few months ago but only caught the last half hour so we were excited when we heard they were coming to play at school (and that we didn't have to pay to get in).
Even though there was your fair share of annoying drunk 20 year olds at the concert, it wasn't overcrowded and we were able to sit on a grassy hill up until Mates of State played. Besides the drunk freshman blonde who was standing next to us asking if this was Ace of Base playing and throwing herself over everyguy in a 5 foot radius, we were able to just stand and enjoy the music. Oh yeah, there was also a mosh pit going on in front of us...at Mates of State...a mosh pit? Really? Wrong concert guys. What is it with guys anyways wanting to run around and smash into each other? I don't get it.
