BULLDOG MUSIC REVIEW "CREATION FEST MAIN STAGE 09 EDIDTION"

This post goes out to Lance, Dan, Ryley, Drew, David, Sammy, Max, Zack, and that other guy from k town i have yet to meet!

Now creation fest is basically my favorite week of the entire year! as you all know i love music, and going to creation fest is like my favorite thing...i dont know it just fits! maybe one day they will ask my advice for bands...in my dreams! anyway heres a rundown of what I think will be the best shows this year at Creation! (In order...roughly)

~MAIN STAGE~

1. Relient K



From the last show i saw of these guys at Creation Fest and the last show i saw of News Boys its no wonder why Relient K will be the closing band for Creation Fest 2009. Not only do they have awesome catchy songs, they are hilarious on stage and play a sweet show! This trip will all be worth it if i only got to see RK!

2. Skillet



I havnt been listening to Skillet for very long, and to be honest i thought there first few albums were terrible! But the last few they have put out are amazing and some how they stepped up their game dramatically! last years Creation Fest i was excited to see how they would pull of the violin/hardcore rock show, and as soon as they opened with comatose i got shivers down my spine! i would imagine that even if they played the exact same show as last year i would be very happy!

3. Family Force Five



Now many would prolly disagree with me on this one, but im really hoping that these guys have the underdog type show that blows people away! they are no doubt a bunch of weirdos with a weird band name, (better then "the brothers" or "the phamily" however) but man do they have some sweet tunes! i think those of you going this year will be pleasantly surprised...but to each his own.

4. TFK



I have seen TFK around 7 times live and i seem to always go away dissatisfied, mainly cause they never play anything from their best album which is their first! however last years show made me think that they could turn it around! they added a new member to the band who plays keys which actually worked very well for them, and this year they are playing later than they ever have which means more stage time, and hopefully bigger show! im holding out for something big!

5. Hawk Nelson



Last year i hopped in the mosh pit with lance and the boys and noticed that i may have been one of the oldest in the mosh pit and as i looked around i saw a great number of teenage girls! haha then it all made sense after Hawk Nelson took the stage! now that being said they put on a sweet show and i love their music, you could tell that they were loving it on the stage and were just having a blast which is cool to see, and this year im hoping to see the same and hopefully a few extras!

6. Kutless



Another awesome band that i have seen a few times. they have some great songs, and i love a lot of their lyrics. they do an amazing job live especially vocally alas they dont seem to put one as much of a show as some bands that i have seen! Will they step it up this year?

7. Needtobreathe



A band prolly no one has heard of, but take my word for it they are good stuff! i have heard a few of their songs and hope to pick up their album this week at the gorge and what i have heard has blown me away! The lead singer has a very unique voice and from what i hear the members of the band are great musicians! im hoping these guys end up being one of the underdog bands that kinda take us by surprise!

8. 116 Clique feat Lecrae



This is the super house group consisting of Trip Lee, J'Son, Sho Baraka, FLAME, and Lecrae. I hope to get my Hip Hop fix from these talented Rappers (some of which are the most talented in the Christian music industry). I always enjoy a few rap shows over the creation week, they just now how to party and have fun! You know me and Sammy Jay will be swaying our hands back and forth all day! YE! YE! WHAT!?

Runners up, David Crowder Band, not my fav music but great show! Casting Crowns, an amazing worship band! Pillar, i just want to hear fireproof really! Group one crew, an amazing rap group. Sanctus Real, a great band that has never really made it big!
