Harry and the Potters LIVE--I fixed the links..maybe
So I went and saw Harry and the Potters. It was really kind of cool because I had only just heard about them from Misha a month ago. I had to walk 4 blocks in pouring rain so my feet were really soaked when I got there. A pretty diverse group of people showed up for this concert. Most of them were hippie-indie kids. There were high schoolers/middle schoolers (I can't distinguish anymore), babies, college students, fans that knew every word to every song that was played, Penn students...Yeah anyway, there two opening bands. The first was Univox and they actually didn't sound too bad. Their lead singer was crazy though. He'd be jumping and rolling around and scream into the microphone incoherently every once in a while. After they finished playing, there was a mad rush to the table behind me where all the merchandise was being sold. You could really tell that everyone was just there for Harry and the Potters because the next guy who played had to just start while people were still pushing their to the table. He sang really depressing songs and the girl I was with said he looked like he was going to kill himself if this concert didn't go well. He was a terrible singer.
Finally, Harry and the Potters started setting up their gear..which consisted of a keyboard, guitar, and an ipod. They went off stage for a while to change into their vests and neckties. When they came back, everyone started cheering. It was really interesting to see so many different kinds of people getting excited over a band that really has no merit except for the fact that they are taking advantage of an already established fanbase. Their performance reminded me of coffeehouse. They really are terrible singers but they certainly put on an entertaining show, if only because they would engage the crowd in yelling matches and jump around off stage singing in people's faces. They were very funny. They sang a lot of different songs and one new one which was about Harry and Ginny. I have movie clips for some of songs below. I got a T-shirt and I wanted them to sign it afterwards, but there was already a huge crowd of eager girls wanting their picture taken and my camera's battery had already died.
