Think you've hard of Allstar Weekend? It's probably because you have. Gaining popularity through Disney Radio (and through the Family Channel here in Canada), they've been making a name for themselves since 2007. This four member band from Poway California has since released four studio albums and announced back in January that after Warped Tour they would be on an indefinite hiatus. They currently just announced this past Friday that members Zach, Cameron and Michael will be starting a new band titled The Tragic Thrills and their new single "Tears".
Starting the day off on a good note, these boys were upbeat and friendly onstage. While the crowd wasn't that large, they still acted as if they were performing in front of hundreds. I think that any performer who is able to do that deserves all the success that comes to them. No matter what their band title is. Why? It shows they love what they do.
While I'd only heard of Allstar Weekend, I wasn't familiar with their music. It was a combo of pop-rock (surprise surprise considering they were all the rage on the Disney Channel) and while the music and vocals were en par, to me they weren't memorable. However, if I happened to be an overly enthusiastic tween/teen that would be a totally different story. You're looking at a Backstreet Boys and *Nsync fan here so I know the feeling.
TO me the only set back to this first set was the security. I'm not sure if it was lack of communication between the Warped Tour organizers and the Amphitheatre security or if it was security was just - for a lack of a better word - stupid, it was a tad annoying when they refused media/photographers access to the pit. You would think they would understand the ins and outs of media access and have been more organized. It wasn't as if there were dozens of people trying to get into the pit. There was probably six or seven of us who were there to take pictures.
