On Sunday April 22, myself and one of my pals decided to attend Men Women & Children's show in Anahiem, California at the Chain Reaction. I must say that it was an great experience
The first band to go on was Hopefield, and they were pretty good. Football isn't really their thing, because they were definitely playing in front my car when we were waiting and the bassist couldn't catch the ball to save his life. Other than that, they were pretty darn good. Nothing extremely memorable, but I couldn't complain.
The next band was overnight lows. Now the lead singer was supposedly a woman, but I couldn't really tell. It took me on an emotional roller coaster. I'd be like, its a girl no a guy...damn, I don't know!!! They're really good though, so its okay. I recommend listening to their song Delay the Wait, its extrememly catchy
Afterwards, the oohlas came on. Now, I had seen the Oohlas perform before and I had mixed feelings about them. This time around, they were pretty good but I couldn't hear the lead volcalist very well, which sort of sucked. They are very orginal, and their song Across the Stars in Blue is addicting.
Then, Bedouin Soundclash, which is officially one of the most amazing bands ever, came on. They're sort of like reggae/indie/popish amazingness! Words can't explain how good they were. There were these kids next to me who were trying to dance, but they couldn't. I just wanted to be like, stop, please stop, spare yourselves. During there last song, some of men, women & children came out with congas and they held it up to audience. This band had a great live sound and excellent stage presence.
Finally, Men Women & Children came on. Let me just say, if you have not seen this band live, you are missing out. Their live show is great. everyone was really into it. Not to mention Todd (ex-guitarist from glassjaw) is in the band. They were just really good. Also, for anyone who has seen them, you know that they always use a bubble maching during their show, which seems the facinate much of the crowd.
It was definitely a memorable night, and I recommend checking out these bands live.

Nice reviews, your descriptions are really good; I went out to iTunes and you're right, delay the wait is catchy! I would just suggest to add a "sounds like" maybe, I know that helps me whenever people tell me about groups/bands/artists I haven't heard just because some people aren't exactly sure about what genres mean. But other than that it's awesome!!
