February 27, 2009. Hogue Barcmicheal’s at Newport Beach, California, was the scene of PeopleRipple.com’s first concert. The night of music was electric and entertaining. All bands gave excellent performances that kept the excitement and energy levels high. If there was a way to harness the incredible energy in there, the whole of Southern California could have run for a few hours.
Nastalja started the evening with a bold set of experimental ska that sounded soulful and full-bodied. They set the tone and expectation for the night with music that compelled people to move! See them perform live and you instantly become a fan.
Next up was Neo Geo. They kept the energy up with a definitive set of electro rock songs performed with a synergy of talent and showmanship exhibited by bands that have been around for much longer. This is a band to follow.
When X86 took the stage, no one in the venue was sitting. Their heart-rate-driving beats, ear-burrowing guitars, punctuated by seductive vocals captivated the crowd. Their music force people to be in the moment. And like most people at the concert, I can’t wait to see them, again.
The Go-Shielas reinforced everything people love about live concerts. Their songs kick in the door of your inhibitions and inject you with pure fun and love of music. You could not help but be entranced by their punk pedigree and moved to mosh with others similarly infected by their flavor.
The Action Design was the Headline Band of the PeopleRipple.com Concert. They tapped off a night that was already bursting with great music and a rockin’ vibe. If the night was memorable at that point, Action Design made it unforgettable. People were lost in their music, singing along and grooving to indie/alt rock songs that became newbies’ instant favorites the second it hit their virgin ears. Siren song hooks lodged themselves in people’s heads. And an over-the-top performance was icing on the cake.
PeopleRipple.com’s first concert had an awesome lineup of bands. People had a great time coming together to listen and support these artists sharing their love. Great music enjoyed by great people.
