I went to see The Soft Pack last night at Great Scott in Allston. I've been digging thier self titled album a lot and at $10 a ticket, I'd be an asshole not to go. The opening bands were Beaters & NODZZZ. I missed almost all of the Beaters' set but caught all of NODZZZ...unfortunately, could have done without. I really don't like to hate on bands, but this one was not one of my favorites. I wont harp on them any longer, just not a fan. Anyway, the Soft Pack came out and played a great set. I was blown away by their talent. It always gets me when I see dudes younger than me ripping it up on stage, touring and living the dream. Not to mention releasing one hell of a great album (Self Titled - Feb 2010). Hailing from sunny San Diego, it only makes sense their record solicits summer suns and warm surf tones. Really energetic, punk influenced, garage rock is what I like and is what the Soft Pack are all about. I 100% recommend checking them out if they make their way to your neck of the woods this year.

This song is awesome. "C'Mon"
Live on Letterman. Oh, check out the drummer. He's practically standing upright when he plays. Kinda intense.
