On Thursday, January 31st, I went to Patrick's Irish Pub to view an acoustic concert. It was a benefit show to raise money for a new concert venue in Poway. My friend was the one to organize this fundraiser because he feels that the San Diego music scene is not as strong as it use to be. Each band that played was recorded. All of the proceeds from the album sales will go toward this new venue as well.
One of the bands was called Arm the Angels. Their sound, I would say, is a mixture of AC/DC meets The Police. I have seen them live, which is amazing, but acoustically, it was a completely different experience. The quality of the instruments together and the gentleness of the performance really made me like them even more. They played a song that I had never heard before. It was a very romantic song, and compared to their other songs which is all about heartbreak, I would have to say that it was a wonderful breath of fresh air. Overall, I really enjoyed the show.
Also, to help out my friend who is trying to get this venue opened, I was able to help him out and take photographs of the show. Many of these images will be printed on the album and will be posted on the website my friend built to keep people informed about the upcoming shows.
It truly was a great experience.
