So, if you live in or around Tampa, your all about drinking Miller light, and you happen to love music. 97x Hooks it up every december with the concert they put on every year, “The Next Big Thing”. The concert goes from 10am to 11pm. starting with both local and national up and comers in morning / early afternoon, to national bands on the rise in the afternoon, to worldwide bands at night! All I have to say is I live in the city that has the coolest radio station! Thank you to Shark, Fisher and Boy, and the rest of the 97x crew!

       Anyways, it just so happens that this years NBT was on Dec. 5th, A.K.A. Both my grandfather and my fathers birthday! at first, I was upset thinking  I was going have to pass up the concert this year. After going on the 97x website and looking at the set list…

1. The crowd
2. Set it off
3. Not tonight jospehine
4. America bang
5. Finger Eleven
6. Neon Trees
7. Switch Foot
8. The Dirty Heads
9. Against Me
10. Paper Tongues
11. A Day to Remember
12. Sick Puppies
13. Cage the Elephant
14. Chevelle
15. The Black Keys
16. My Chemical Romance

Obviously Both of their Birthdays got Moved to the 4th. Were they happy about it? NO. Was my brother happy? Ecstatic! That was the easiest / best decision of this moth so far.

       Every band pretty much brought the noise, but My Chemical Romance Stole the show. Tampa had waited four years to since last seeing them, and The release of their newest album Danger Days: The True Lives Of The Fabulous Killjoys was the perfect re-introduction! I was expecting Gerard and the gang to just play the new record, but was extremely surprised to see they played a couple old songs. The 20,000 in attendance screaming at the top of their lungs “na na na na na” i must say was pretty epic! All in all another great concert!
