Seven System stole the show

I went to hear some friends known as Seven System tonight and I was in for a treat. First of all, there was another group that brought in a good crowd for a Wednesday night the week before Christmas. After the first group got through with their set, they debuted a music video of the group to follow Seven System. (I will keep the band nameless because I am about to tell about how Seven System stole the show) After the music video, Seven System ROCKED THE HOUSE. It was awesome. Hardly anybody in the room had heard of them since they just moved here from California and this was their first night playing in Nashville. Ten seconds into the first song they had everybody's heads bobbin'.

Matt, the lead singer, encouraged us to stand so up I stood. The only problem is, well there were two problems. First, no one else in my section decided to stand. So now I'm standing all by myself feeling very self conscious. The second problem is, I don't have any moves, aka skillz, aka rhythm. So, I sat my white self back down and continued to bob my head. I wanted to do more but I just don't have anything to give. I tapped my foot until my shin got sore. Does that count? Anyways, it was a good night. After Seven System finished, most of the crowd left! It was neat to see them gain a quick audience. I felt bad for the next group for a few minutes but got over it pretty quick. It wasn't my fault.
