On Sunday, Tina asked if I wanted to go to the Chevelle concert with her on Wednesday... since I had no plans I said of course! I love spontaneous! I had never even heard of the band Chevelle until Sunday. As it turns out I really like them.
The concert was at the Knitting Factory. We barely got there early enough to grab a seat in the bar.
The opening band was Oceans Divide. The two guitarists looked like the guys from Nelson. Tina and I were curious if they were twins or brothers. I love my iphone and looked them up to find out. Turns out they are twins. But what really caught my eye was the drummers name, Silas McQuain. I went to high school with a guy one grade below me with the same name. I pondered if it was possible that he's the same Silas and almost as if the band read my mind they announced they are a local band originating from Spokane.
Here's Silas on drums. As soon as I got home I grabbed my year book and sure enough it's the same Silas! Just to be sure I did some searching on the Internet too and he posts his home town as Chewelah.

The second band was Seven Cycles. I wasn't very impressed with their
screaming music
And finally it was Chevelle! All 3 band members are brothers.
What a great concert! Thanks Tina! I had fun and got introduced to some great new music.
