Did anyone out there attend the Seether concert this weekend? What was it like? The feedback I have had so far was that it was absolutely mind blowing and the audience was treated to a real show. Apparently Stealing Love jones were also a brilliant support act….

The Fugitive was “unmasked” this morning and he was none other than Kyle from the 94.7 “Ground Patrol team” - thats a bit disappointing that they pulled from their own staff to fill it but thats just my own personal grumble.

Seether is in South Africa and I have a feeling they are going to deliver one hell of a performance. Talk about a feel good story – here is an act that has taken on the world and come out trumps! Damn it promises to be exciting and I don’t think there are going to [...]
