Good Riddance

Excellent show, I got into Good Riddance long after they'd been going through a good friend of mine whom I've know for best part of 25 years.
I always hoped I'd get a chance to see GR in Cali, but when the news dropped that they'd broken up it was pretty devastating. So a few years later, when I heard they were releasing a new album, and following up with a tour. I hoped I'd be able to make it out to Cali to catch a show, and pay a visit to San Jose to pay tribute to Tony Sly at the same time.
Well, I've not made it to Cali yet... But GR made it to Australia, where I currently reside... And better still, to Perth, my current chosen city of habitation.
Show absolutely rocked, even when a member of the crowd bumped Russ' mic pretty hard into his face - he kept going.
Thanks a lot for coming out to Perth, Australia guys. Hope to see you next time i Califas.

When artists fuse genres to create new and exciting music, it’s a demonstration of great skill and talent, and Ignite’s creating of their melodic hardcore music is something that I thoroughly enjoy, and has now become a mainstream genre. I’ve seen them perform countless times over the years, and they always put on a great show: they’re performance dedication and technique is of incredibly high standards, and they give every performance 110%, which is always completely contagious to the audience, who dance and sing along from start to finish.

They opened the show with their track Ash Return from back in the day, and had everyone singing along right from the outset. Their skills on their respective instruments are incredible, and some of the solos that they performed totally blew me away. Nik hill played an awesome solo, whilst Zoltan Teglas sang some incredibly high notes over the top, causing the audience to go crazy. It’s great that they put different spins on their music from the recordings, giving everyone something to really get excited about at their shows. Although their line up has altered considerably over the years, the band are all tight together, and you really wouldn’t know that they weren’t the original group.
