In Key Drop Outs

My little Brother, Shawn, has his own band called In Key Drop Outs (click on link...don't mind an occasional swear word *shocking gasp* Slow Down and Spiders are my favs). They are a Ska/Punk band. I love their music! Shawn is super talented at the piano, guitar and composing his own music. I'm so jealous! I can play the piano/violin/viola but I can't compose music very well. I do love to take hymns and arrange them differently but that's where the talent ends. I've been bugging Shawn to tell me when he would be having his next show and he told me last week that they would be performing at Boing. Boing is a house downtown where several people live and they open their home up to several bands on occasion. This house was cool, I thought. They have mattresses up against the windows to block out most of the sound (they are in a neighborhood and it is LOUD!) They also have a vegan cafe as well. The people were very nice! I have to admit I was slightly nervous going down there but super excited to see In Key live. Can I just say that it was SUPER KOOL! They ROCK! I couldn't believe how well they sounded live! The entire crowd skanked and moshed and sang to the top of their lungs when he was on. Shawn is lead guitarist and does most of the vocals. He also composes most of the music. His drummer, Anna, was awesome and the bass guitarist, Casey was great as well. I can't believe how talented he is! Dan and my parents came with me. We, seriously, were completely out of place but I don't care! I teased Shawn that next time I will wear my Big D and the Kids Table (their Obama Song is retarded...just so you know) t-shirt and dye my hair purple (oh wait, it already is purple! It will have to be blue then!) It was a blast! I tried hard to get my dad and Dan to Mosh, because they are big guys and would seriously kick trash, but they refrained...geez you'd think they were old or something, course I'm one to talk...hahaha! I'm excited for his next show! You PWNT Shawn!

Shawn is behind this dude staring at the camera. He's the one behind the mic with the glasses.

This is a small clip of the show...can't hear much and it doesn't do it justice but it's sort of fun to see.
