Concert: Reel Big Fish, Goldfinger, Zebrahead

Reel Big Fish, Goldfinger, and Zebrahead all played at the Avalon in Hollywood on January 20, 2006. Kristin and I attended.

Zebrahead
First time I've seen Zebrahead. I was very impressed! They have a shredder for their guitarist, and they let him go on solos like they're a heavy metal band. This sets them apart from normal punk guitar solos, which are normally buried as part of the rhythm of the song.
I would definitely like to see this band again.

Goldfinger
I've seen Goldfinger three times in concert now. I do believe, however, this is the first time I've seen the drummer pull his pants down and ... well, if you have seen them enough times, you probably know what I'm talking about. And if you haven't, then anything more I say here would just ... spoil it. Let's just say, my ever-present camera phone gets put away during this part.
Their musical performance was terrific! This band always rocks!
At one point during the concert, they got about 150 people from the audience on the stage (see the pictures I took!) and played a couple songs.

Reel Big Fish
I saw this band in 1997, and now 9 years later. I'm sure in another 9 years I will enjoy seeing them again - they are a fund band to see. Their on-stage antics remind me of Madness sometimes.
