What's an opening band you didn't know much about when you saw them but now glad that you saw them?

Saw Murder By Death at a festival in '04 & never heard of them before that. Was blown away & has been a favorite band since.

Also, If These Trees Could Talk opening for Russian Circles was a game changer after not knowing them previously.

That led to me seeing The End of the Ocean open for ITTCT & they are one of my favorite live acts.

Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band opening for Flogging Molly was also amazing.

Back in high school, I was going to see the Eels play. The opening band was called Mime. I had never heard of them, so I went to Google them and found a band called Mime that seemed pretty rad...good chill tunes, so I got even more excited for the show. So yeah, I was pretty surprised when I was at the show and an actual mime walked out on the stage and just stood there posing for 20 minutes before the Eels played...

i was late to the party on a lot of bands i grew to love at one point or another:

  • anterrabae and folly supported odd project in 2004
  • every time i die supported chiodos in 2006 (which is hilarious in hindsight)
  • alexisonfire supported saosin in 2007 (also hilarious)
  • title fight opened for four year strong in 2010
  • the story so far opened for set your goals in 2010
