I went to Eugene last night with my friend Spizz to check out a concert that was happening at the McDonald Theatre. It was ridiculously fun. We stopped at Sevies on the way and got a bunch of junk food, rocked out to hits from the 80s and even got Muchas Gracias after the show which just happens to be my favorite burritos of all time. All in all, an awesome night.
First up was Cage the Elephant. I had heard them maybe once or twice but wasn't a hardcore fan but their show last night changed that. They were so fun and had so much energy. They sing Ain't No Rest For The Wicked and you can see the video here. 
This band is called Manchester Orchestra. They're not an orchestra. I had never heard of them before but they were amazing. Their music was so loud and layered that it felt like it was pushing against you. This is their song Everything to Nothing, which I really liked. 
Then the real reason everyone showed up was to see the Silversun Pickups who are AMAZING. When I uploaded their two albums onto my ipod before my 15 hour drive down to Brooke & Raf's wedding I immediately fell in love with Catch & Release off their new album Swoon. I think I listened to it for 4 hours on repeat. Anyway, they were so amazing live and he definitely has the coolest voice I've heard in awhile. Another song of theirs to check out is Lazy Eye.
