Some notes on the The Juliana Theory's first concert ever in Holland!

I was there and it was awesome! Too bad I didn't bring a camera, so the picture you see here is just one I stole from the internet...

The concert took place in a very small club in Arnhem and was part of a special emo night with two Dutch bands (John Coffey and The Hot Stewards), a Belgian group (Zaccharia) and, from America, Haste The Day and The Juliana Theory. The crowd was mostly made up of emokids in black, who were fun to watch, except for a few very annoying girls and boys that kept on talking during the concerts and not giving a **** about the bands that were playing.

Anyway, since I'm not that much into screamo I was not blown away by the first four acts, although especially Haste The Day gave away a very solid show.

The Juliana Theory, however, is not real emo. They are just a rockband. And they are awesome! I don't know how long the concert lasted, I completely forgot about time. I'm not going to try to put this great experience into words, anyone who wasn't there missed a great concert, that's all I can say. They played songs from all their records. I'll try to list them here by album.

From Understand this is a dream: Constellation (which was their last song)
From Emotion is dead: To the tune of 5,000 screaming children and If I told you this was killing me, would you stop? (probably my favorites of the evening)
From Love: Into the dark (which is also on Emotion is dead though), Do you believe me (another favorite) and Jewel to sparkle.
From Deadbeat sweetheartbeat: This is a lovesong... for the loveless, Shotgun serenade, Leave like a ghost (drive away), My heart is a soldier, This Valentine ain't no saint (another favorite), The final song and French kiss off.

They played one other song, that I can't remember the title off... Guess I will have to listen to alll their records again today to find out ;-)

This concert reminded me how much I love The Juliana Theory! And of course, it's very cool to be able to say that I saw their first concert in Holland ever!

Too bad they didn't play my two favorite songs, but then again, you can't have everyting. ;-)

I hope they will come back soon!
