Pinker Tones @ Vans Warped Tour

Went to the Vans Warped tour yesterday specifically just to see the Pinker Tones from Barcelona. We got a little bonus though in that Angelo Moore of Fishbone was hanging out backstage. He had performed earlier and then we watched him perform later. Here are our pics!

If you watch the Pinker Tones video of Sonida Total (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_nuysoe9kY) you can see that in Europe they play for huge crowds and do a massive stage show. And I've really loved their new album. So it was just blowing my mind that I considered these guys big electronic rock stars that we're lucky are stopping in Kansas City, but then they're performing on the smallest stage at the tour (it wasn't even a stage, they just played on the asphalt under a tent) and there were literally about 5 other people there to see them besides my girlfriend and me. All of the young kids there seemed to be waiting for the next band. But the good news for us is it meant we got to be up close and talk to the guys and take photos with them afterwards. They were very nice. Again, we were fortunate to get a chance to see them, its just too bad that more people from Kansas City didn't show up.

And it was very hot there.
