"Locomotor"

Hello, today I PROMISE it wont be a deep meaningful blog, instead a lighthearted fun one ☺
So, I had been planning a surprise for a friend on Sunday (this past one.) We were going to go to a concert of a band we really like and know. They are called “Locomotor”, I’ll put a link at the bottom to their websites so you can check out their music, it’s really good but….It’s in Spanish, I hope that doesn’t bother anyone, they are still really goon though. Anyway, where was I… oh yea so on Sunday we went to the drummers house and we hung out there for a bit until everyone else arrived. Then we all got on the bus to go to Megaplaza (a shopping center in Lima but really far away from anything else.) It was a long bus ride but really fun. We took a ton of sweets, bisquits and a couple of red bulls to share. On the way we talked, laughed and found out more about the guise, Gino the singer, Jeff the basest, Diego and Ricci the guitarists and Daniel the drummer. Once we arrived at Megaplaza the bus took about half an hour just finding the entrance and then we made our way to the food court where they were meant to play. We were taken backstage, which doesn’t really count as backstage as it was tiny tent type thing made of black material, which we all squished in to. Then we were kicked out as the guise had to change and finally we were allowed back in. We heard how they tested the instruments and found out that Jeff, the basest loves his base and always tests it out him self to the amusement of the rest of the band who think he’s just paranoid. Then at 7 the first band began to play, they were good an were a great start to the show (well it wasn’t really a show as it wasn’t with tickets or anything and it was just 2 bands.) at 7:30 “Locomotor” where called to the stage, as they walked past us we wished them luck and then the real part of the concert began. They all played their best and the crowd went wild. Girls where screaming and where obviously absolutely loving it, even some of the older members of the audience where moving their heads to the beat. Gino started to through out some free CD’s in to the crowd and even more screams could be hart, it was absolute madness! But so much fun! I think it was the best they have ever played!
Once the songs where over both bands sat at a long table and the line for autographs began. After a while my friends and I decided to help out so we asked the manager if we could help sell some of the CDs.
Finally the band got up to leave and we raced over in case they forgot about us, but as hard as we tried we couldn’t get to them. Girls pushed us out of the way and we were lucky to get in to the bus.
From there it was a fun ride back again to the drummers house. We arrived a little while later and then just waited for our taxi to take us back home.
It was a really fun night, and I’m very thankful to the guys from “Locomotor” for letting us go with them, It was an unforgettable experience, I hope all goes well in their musical and that I see them again someday.

Please check out their music, they are very talented and have a great future ahead of them.
