Billy Talent at The Cockpit

Wow, this is such a BT blog. But what the hell, they rock. So yeah, last Sunday I went to see Billy Talent playing at The Cockpit. Allow me to assure you it was awesome. While I can't say they gave some kind of mind-blowing stage show the songs were knocked out wonderfully with added commentary in between from Benjamin.

That said, the crowd was clearly divided into two. The front half were really up for it and jumping around while the back half just kind of stud around. I got caught in that crowd at the start but after annoying enough people by screaming in their ears (just for reference, I wasn't actually) I pushed my way forward and the atmosphere was great further forward.

The support band weren't bad although they didn't particuarlly inspire me. I didn't get massively bored though so I've seen way worse support bands.

So yeah, awesome gig, don't miss them when they are next playing near you. If you are in the US and aren't going to the Warped Tour there is something wrong with you.
