Bouncing Souls at the Mayan

On tour to promote their new album, Comet, The Bouncing Souls rocked a show at the Mayan in Downtown LA a few weeks back. Being one of my favorite bands, this concert was a definite must see. Well, every time they stop in the LA area is a must see for me ;) 

Being on the older side of the average age in the crowd, my husband and I found our way to the front row of the raised level/bar area where we could see the stage clearly and not be among the masses. This made for great views of the stage and crowd, and an unobstructed view of the band. It was awesome. And when The Bouncing Souls took the stage for over an hour, it was more awesome.

Familiar songs like "Kids and Heroes", "Hopeless Romantic", "Say Anything", "Midnight Mile", and "Private Radio" were performed. And new songs from Comet like "Coin Toss Girl" and "In Sleep" brought a fresh feel to it. It's heart warming to see how the band has grown from record to record, yet still hold on to their roots and put on something special.

In previous shows they closed with "Gone" but recently have the show ending with "Ship in a Bottle" which is my new favorite song... "With every peak and valley. With every white knuckle fist. With everything I've lost and learned. I won't let go of this grip." 

Thank you The Bouncing Souls for another amazing night!
