We Held Up, We Waited A Minute, We Put A Little Love In It (10.0 On The Richter Scale, We Shook It Like An Earthquake, We Moved Our Tails)

Last night Jake and I saw Family Force 5 at Slim's with Jonezetta and The Secret Handshake. Both of the opening bands were good but neither held a figurative candle (where did that expression come from anyway???) to Family Force. I could use words like ridiculous, intense, weird, or insane but none would really do justice to the experience. In addition to the five band members they had 2 dancers (one was their guitar tech but he danced the whole time). The other dancer came on the stage and break danced every 10 minutes or so in a new brightly colored jumpsuit. Jake and I stood in awe and utter splendor as the bassist played his bass above his head and the lead singer, wearing silver, spray painted Hulk Gloves, donned an Optimus Prime mask and sang the rest of the song. It was a lot to take in but well worth the price of admission. Here is a crappy video from Jake's phone:

This is the video that got me in to Family Force 5 in the first place. Watch it until the end. It is insane (or just watch the end if that's all you can handle!)
