Ok, so this was a Co-Headliner tour, which meant that 3OH!3 and Cobra switches who plays last every night, giving them the same amount of stage time. For the Toronto date, Cobra was last and in this case I was glad that they were because it gave Gabe more time to ramble on about differnt things, which I tend to enjoy. :P
3OH!3 was up first, by far i have never experienced a set like theirs, yeah I have seen bands who have had neat stage props, but by far these guys had the neatest ones I have ever seen.. What's grey, green, huge and growling?! .. if you haven't guessed it's LASER WOLVES!! haha it was pretty neat to see them drag it out, they even named them! :P Not only did they have the kick ass wolves but the back drop shows how patriotic these guys are ! It was pretty much an American Flag, 3OH!3 style! The stripes were made up of 3OH!3 written in red & white to make up the stripes, and where the stars were supposed to be, they had the 3OH!3 gang sign! (also their name comes from the area code of where they are from in Colorado). There was loads of energy bursting from this crowd, the only other time i had experienced a crowd like this was when I saw Down With Webster earlier this year. The crowd was constantly jumping, clapping & singing along with little room to move around if any! I came out of that pit literally drenched in sweat, and i could hardly breathe in the pit, but it was defiantly worth it! This was the first time I was seeing them play a full set ( I have only seen them at Warped Tour, when they had only a 5 song set) so it was pretty cool see how they put on a headliner! They also played 2 of their new songs which drops June 28th. They played My First Kiss ft Ke$ha , and House Party. It was nice to see how many people were singing along to My First Kiss, as it was just released the day before (:
Up next we had Cobra Starship! this was my 4th time seeing these guys live, and they always put on a high energy show. Not much to say about the actual set.. I think after seeing them so many times it has pretty much been the same, they play a good mix of new and old songs , meanwhile Gabe fills the rest of the time with his ramblings (which i love, haha he's such a joker) . This show just happened to be on Nate's birthday (the drummer) and they were all drinking on stage after we sang him Happy Birthday. This set was pretty neat, as not only did we get to help Nate celebrate his birthday, but Tyler Armes from Down With Webster came up on stage and played the Maracas with Cobra, as they were in town too. On a side note I was a little disappointed that Travie left to get tattooed right after his set, leaving Cobra to only play half of Kiss My Sass (cutting out travie's part) AND during Snakes On a Plane. But the nice thing was, that Gabe allowed 2 girls from the crowd to come up and do Travie's rap in the song, while he video taped them with one of the girls cameras. Def props to them for having the courage to go up and do that! even after being a long time Cobra fan, I don't think i would have had the rap down, and probably would have been too scared to even let a word out.
All in all, if you wanna have a good time and this tour is coming to a city near you i suggest you check it out! here's some tips for the tour! :
* If you have twitter follow @toofasttour It;s run by Baby Booz, one of 3OH!3 's roadies, he updates the twitter and hides a pair of tickets at the venue everyday! making it easier for fans who cant afford the tickets to get in!
*MEET AND GREET WITH 3OH!3 !! : Around 2 hours before the show, Baby Booz will be wandering around the line looking for people decked out in gold!! he's the key ticket into getting into a 3oh3 meet and greet! :)
