9/6/14 - Bazooka Rocks Festival 2014

Last weekend, the third annual Bazooka Rocks Festival was held at the SMX Convention Center. The line-up for this year's event was so big that it had to be divided into two nights. I would have wanted to watch both but circumstances prevent me from doing so ad I ended up watching the second show which is totally not bad at all.

I was actually in the area by noon but I decided not to go to the venue at first since I wasn't interested with the bands that played early on. I hadlunch first before having a quick stroll at the mall.

I entered the venue sometime around 3 pm. The place seemed more organized than last year's and I'm surprised that the queues for the merchandise were ot that long. There were plenty of food stalls and the chairs were better than the previous festivals. Echosmith was the first band I like that played. It's nice to see people support them but I can't emphasize how beautiful Sydney, the vocalist, is. I couldn't take my eyes off of her during the entire set.

The Summer Set was the next band to perform and they were fun to watch I saw them live 2 years ago and it's such a pleasure to see them again to perform their songs from their album released last year.

Another band that I've seen live plenty of times before performed next. We Are The In Crowd rocked the crowd with their upbeat energy and despite seeing them before, this is the first time I've watched them in a close distance. I loved hearing some of my favorite songs like Kiss Me Again and Never Be What You Want.

UK rock band You Me At Six was the last one to perform and they brought the house down with their set! It was their first time to perform in our country and they mad a good first show here. I was't really that big into them but they just proved how great they are. They seem to love the fans so much and they are very good live acts. Their latest album is so good and it's been o repeat for the entire week.

The event ended quite early, even before midnight but that wasn't a problem for me since I still had to report to work on the following day. I got to purchase some band merch and overall had a good time. I can't wait for next year's festival. I hope they make it just one show though.
