Darren Hayes' Roxy Concert (June 22, 2007)

I just got home from the concert!! It was soooo incredible!!! It started late, around 8:30 pm, instead of 8:15, so it wasn't so bad, I guess. First was the opener who was only known as Julien, who sang only 3 songs, then retired for the night. The second opener was this band from England, called Temposhark. I really liked the way they sounded, and they did a great cover or two, along with some incredible songs of their own. I ended up purchasing their debut CD for $10, and getting it signed by two of the band's members. I also got a hug from the lead singer, Rob, and a hug and kiss from the other member who signed the CD, Luke. It was awesome, and I look forward to more stuff from them.

Finally, there was about a 20 minute break between them and Darren, but it was totally worth it. Darren played the audience incredibly, and we (the audience) responded very enthusiastically. He sang a couple of old Savage Garden songs (Violet, I Don't Know You Anymore, & I Want You), then did one from Spin (Insatiable), did a couple from The Tension and The Spark (I Like the Way, Pop!ular, Unlovable, & Void), and also performed some new stuff, including: A Fear of Falling Under, Step Into the Light, Who Would Have Thought, How to Build A Time Machine, On the Verge of Something Wonderful, and a couple more I can't remember. Darren also covered Prince's Baby I'm A Star.

How incredible... The only thing that could have made it better would have been if we weren't kicked out immediately, and if he'd come out to sign autographs. Oh well. *shrug* I'll take what I can get, until the album comes out at least.
