The Wild, Crucial Funhouse

It's 12:41am, i just got home from seeing The Wild play at my friend Anthony's house, a.k.a. "The Crucial funhouse," located in downtown Lexington, on KY ave.

This was hands down, the best show i have ever been to in my life. This was the biggest show that has ever been at Anthony's house, people came from miles and miles away to see The Wild, it was amazing.

As soon as the band showed up and set up, everyone piled into the attic and got a good spot next to their closest friends. I leaned to my friend and whispered "Its about to get wild!" Then, the band started and we all began chanting the words so loudly. We danced so unitedly, the heat was rising in that attic, feet were stomping, i nearly thought the floor would cave and we were all going to end up in the living room below.

Then the circle pit began, it became hotter than ever, we were sweating, screaming, singing, linking arms and smiling so big. The girl playing tambourine took her shirt off, my nice friend Melody took her shirt off, and soon enough, mine was pulled over my head and thrown across the room. If the boys can take their shirts off, we can too!

The Wild played lovely songs with harmonica and tambourine and guitar and drums, i especially love the harmonica. It's like folky type, poppy punk music, according to me. I love them so so much, perfect summer-time music. When the last song was comming to an end, the singer jumped up on the bass drum. We all took the cue, ran up in a heap, put our arms in the air and accepted his crowd surfing like it was the greatest gift of all!

After the set was over, we all ran downstairs and collapsed in the yard, gasping for fresh, cool air. The summer night was so embracing to all of us. This show was the greatest way to kick off spring break of 2010. I expect to see The Wild play again this summer at Crucial Fun Fest.
