3oh!3

The Boulevard Spokane, WA

Three Thoughts on 3OH!3

1. I have not been to a lot of shows at the Blvd. but I will say that 3oh!3 had one of the largest crowds I’ve seen at this venue and it was a Monday Night. That shows the power of the tour sponsor Myspace.

2. 3oh!3 rocks and is one of the best live bands around today. There mix of techno, rap and punk is one of a kind. They tore the Blvd to shreds. The two lead singers in 3Oh!3 put more energy into a show then most bands do in an entire tour.

3. Ask any kid who was at the show last night about 3oh!3 and they will not say a word and just show you the 3Oh!3 hand gesture (by bringing your thumbs and index fingers together to form an “O” shape, and spreading the middle, ring, and pinky fingers apart).

Katy Perry's Back Up Guys?

3OH!3 The super dorky back up guys from Katy Perry rocked the Blvd on Monday night. A stuffed room enjoyed the cheap show and I know I couldn't have been the only one wondering 'how the heck did these guys end up here…' Whatever the reason, up close and personal was a great way to see these Denver boys. Their set was fast, but with so many opening bands, it was not a negative.

Who was the dumb blonde girl on stage though? I know they like to have their groupies but this chick totally distracted from the energetic movements on the small stage. Sit down lady!

Other than that, great show.
