Coheed & Cambria

Do you have a favourite band that's stuck with you throughout the years?  I've had obsessions with bands but as I grow older my taste in music evolves.  When I was in high school I was very into Deftones, like crazy into Deftones.  I once made LoveElycia wait for seven hours at a radio station so I could get Chino's (the singer) autograph.  Thanks dude - you're a trooper! While I still listen to Deftones, they're definitely no longer my favourite.

Coheed & Cambria have been my favourite band for quite a while now.  I was really into the Second Stage Turbine Blade, Coheed's first album, when I met my boyfriend Dan.  I got him into the band and we've been together ever since (9 years).

I really enjoy watching them live, it's hard to explain how happy I am while at one of their concerts.  They're all extremely talented guys and you can tell they really enjoy playing.  I think I could honestly go to every single one of their concerts on a tour and never get tired of watching them.

I've seen them play live many times -- the show I went to last week was my 15th time seeing Coheed & Cambria.  (Also, if you've ever read my post Twenty Facts About Me -- fact #20 happened while Coheed & Cambria were playing)

I've met them several times, in fact at some of the early shows Claudio (singer) would be at the merchandise table. I bought my Second Stage Turbine Blade sweater from him.  They're nice dudes!

 I have their autographs -- Claudio has also signed several of my ticket stubs.

This is one of the videos that "I" took that's posted to my Youtube Channel.  I say that "I" took because the videos that usually end up on my youtube are ones that Dan has taken.  I can't stand still at concerts.


So there you have it, my favourite band.  I'd love to hear about bands that you've been into for along time or just stuff you're listening to at the moment.  I'm always looking for new music so if you're really digging something please let me know either by posting in the comments or by email :)

In other news I got my PonyChops button brogues in the mail last night and I am in love.  I've received so many complements today.  

They're super comfy, super cute, and arrived super speedy even though they came all the way from England.  I can't recommend PonyChops enough!  Arthur approves of my new shoes and knows that he's not allowed to touch them with his teeth.
