So this is it my friends Take Action Tour is coming to town and the Magpie and I will be there front and center sucking it all in
Interviewing Call The Cops and Mayday Parade should be outstanding enough but the line up for this event include We The Kings, A Rocket To The Moon, There For Tomorrow, and Stereo Skyline.
This annual event has a charity cause behind it
“Driving For Donors exists to draw donors, attention, and funds to this cause. The non profit organization is the brainchild of now 14-year-old Patrick Pedraja who was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia at age 10. In 2007, at age 11, Patrick and his family started Driving For Donors and traveled around the country in a special “Donormobile” with the mission of signing people up for the National Marrow Registry to help find bone marrow matches for people in need of a transplant. Since then they have added over 22,000 donors to the registry, saved more than 24 people’s lives with matches and helped raise over $100,000 for tissue typing fees and drive expenses by selling advertising on Patrick’s bald head. Patrick has been honored by the United States Congress, CNN Heroes, DoSomething.org and has appeared on numerous television shows to promote this cause.”
Take that telethon whores.
Rock on to Patrick the bands who sign up to TOUR in support, the fans and sponsors for making this event a sell out. I’m PSYCHED as hell
Play list for a Take Action Friday
1- Check Yes Juliette- We The Kings, cute poppy and the only song I know by these headliners.. I know, I fail
2- Room 410 – myspace heroes Call The Cops, Imma let um sing now but Imma talk to them later
3- Miserable At Best- Mayday Parade I want to hear this song now cuz I wont be hearing it tonight. Instead I will hear the high pitched gum scented version of young teen
love. But its a fantastic song and I dedicate it to Boston.
4- If you Cant Live Without Me, Why Aren’t You Dead Yet?- Mayday Parade. BEST fucking title in forever
5- Baby Blue Eyes- A Rocket to the Moon, pretty acoustic intro, hope they play it! Listen the lyrics. AND GET ME A FKN TISSUE
6- Shake and Shout- A Stereo Skyline A bit generic but its again the only one I know by them
7- A Little Faster- There for Tomorrow A bit more musical testosterone here. They seem a bit lost but not in a bad way. They’ll add the angst to a show full of hugs
8- Love like Novacaine- Call The Cops Almost as 80s-ish as the lead singer Justin Allens moustache
repeat….
woot!
