Notes: Despite the fact that The Blackout and I don't see eye-to-eye these days, I can't deny the fact that they are a very good live band. Frontman Sean Smith is very confident and great with the crowd, and with 6 members in the band they have no excuse to not perform their songs well. I haven't seen them in nearly a year now, simply because I don't really like their new music. But if you are a fan of The Blackout, or enjoy a bit of audience-interraction from a band, then this is a good night out.
