    Candlebox is one of the most underrated bands in my opinion and the fact that they are almost unknown in Europe is just pitiful. I got introduced to their music by a low priced Lucy casette back in 1996 and I've been a fan ever since. And Happy Pills was pretty awesome as well...I wish they did some festival shit in the EU...

    will do. If I get a chance to chat with them, I will for sure ask. No gurantees, but if I get to talk to any of them I will inquire about European dates.

    Ok just got home from the show. AWESOME, AWESOME show!! I've always been a big fan of Candlebox and they are seriously underrated.

    The set was a mix of old and (a few new ones). They have a new record coming out in Feburary.

    Set as best as I can remember:
    Bitches Brewin'
    Simple lessons
    Cover me
    Change
    New song
    blossom
    New song
    classic rock melody consisting of zep, Kiss, AC/DC, Ozzy, thin lizzy, iron maiden
    stand
    Arrow
    Breathe me in
    Miss you
    Far Behind
    you

    May be missing a few.

    I did meet Kevin Martin and got a picture.

    Also, European/ UK fans I made sure to ask about a tour for you guys. He said they are trying their asses off to do it next year (probably the next run of dates with the new album).

    Only dissapointment was not one song was played from Happy Pills. Love that album! Wish it got more love.

    Also, a new Gracious few album is in the works, with touring to follow.

    Kevin mentioned his love of Seattle, and it's great music. He named all the big four grunge bands. PJ and AIC got the loudest cheers. :mrgreen::mrgreen: He also mentioned Ann and Nancy Wilson, and Jimi Hendrix. He said if we have never been to Seattle we need to go there. I agree. :mrgreen: I need to visit or move to Seattle. I want to, anyway.
