Re: The Strive at The Uptown

I went to check out a band based on your recommendation – The Strive. I was impressed by one of their songs I had heard on kc-radio.com and then heard about their show. Before the show I saw them sitting at a table signing autographs. They were very humble and very respectful. I told them I heard them on http://www.kc-radio.com a few months prior and couldn’t wait to see them live. They even signed an autograph for me – so cool! I was hoping they sounded just like their album. I had grown so tired of going to concerts and being let down.
When they took the stage in the main hall, about 150 or so people were already gathered at the front of the stage. (Not a bad size crowd for a local band.) A lady introduced the band first by thanking Alice 102 FM for playing them on the air that day. That was really cool to hear, because I was listening in my car on the way to the concert and it really pumped me up. She also mentioned they were getting ready to record their next album with some big recording studio.
Finally it was show time! The Strive hit the stage and somewhere between the first note to the the first chorus, It seemed like 200 additional fans came from out of nowhere to join the crowd. It was such an awesome moment. I had not seen that much excitement for a band in a very long time. It was easy to get caught up. So much fun and energy flowed throughout their performance. I eagerly joined in. Why not? It might have been the last time I was to see something like this and was so lucky to be a part of it.
All I can say is thank you to kc-radio.com and The Strive for bringing back my faith in local music!
Signed,
A Fan
