Modern Day Escape welcomes each evening with their fellow beloved fans by their side. The quintet will dazzle their fans with the House of Rats where you definitely want get trapped. The musicians love their fans as much as their fans love them providing a palpable vibe transferable to live shows. Modern Day Escape [M.D.E.] is lead by James Vegas who can be as sweet as his scream is loud. The Floridian/Southern Californian band is forming their own world with each tour. Tours add more and more listeners who become like family to the band. Vegas does not have a specific plan to ensure each show is different for the steady stream of steadfast fans who always leave happy.
For many Modern Day Escape fans James’s music is a deep sea treasure they have hunted for. When asked about who he wanted to become when he was a child the lead singer said, “I always wanted to be a deep sea treasure hunter or a paleontologist.” James was inspired by a friend to become a musician. The screamer said, “My old best friend Tim Ashley started playing the guitar and made me buy one and start playing so we could have a band; we were like 13.” Surprisingly the humble artist shares a side of himself many people who relate to him could understand. Vegas said, “I honestly didn't think I would live this long....” The men came together as a band starting with Bagel and James followed by the theft of Marti from a metal band. Shep soon followed as he was a mutual friend whereas Corey was found through Stickham.
There is not much difference between Florida and California except humidity plays in California’s favor-an all around better fit for the band regardless of the increased cost of living. James said, “Well to be frank the road is our true home. We a...

...wing their following to grow with each tour. James elaborated, “We wake up, drive to the venue, load in, change clothes, play the show, dry off, meet and greet our fans, load up, drive to a truck stop or a friends place and pass out.” They repeat the daily ritual and meet up with fans online in between duplicating their tour habits stop after stop.
Members of M.D.E. are not babbling lip service unless they are giving a nod to the sponsor by the same name because they are comfortable in their own skin. The only form of lip service the quintet partakes in is the dispersing of smiles which anyone can use. Being apart of the New World Family makes a member feel like he can explore his artistry without judgment. The band thrives on organization and everyone involved charts a course in the stars Modern Day Escape can follow while leading others with their music.
Debra Rathwell is the Senior VP for AEG Live. Rathwell oversees the active New York office of AEG along with being a force in national touring. Rathwell has more than 30 years of experience in the industry and her dedication inspires me. I know she is well respected in the industry and I think it is impressive that she books on average 800 shows every year. Being a woman in the music industry is a big challenge, but Rathwell proves to me and the world that being hard working will help prove yourself. The first step that really started Rathwell’s career was during her last year at Carleton University in Ottawa, Ontario. Rathwell was Harvey Glatt’s assistant and went on to work as Bass Clef Entertainment, which partnered on shows with Canada’s concert leaders. This introduced Rathwell to the industry and the rest was like a snowball effect, one job led to another. Another step Rathwell took in her career was pivotal was joining Donald Tarlton for 12 years at DKD. With DKD, Rathwell managed a staff ...
Living life to the fullest in California is exciting and fun. Everyone can find their hobby and discover new ones every day. It allows all people from all backgrounds to explore the unimagined. Living in Florida may be fun for a while, but it is not the place for opportunity. California brings everything to the table. Living in California allows one to truly live life. After all, “adventure is out there.” –Russell ( The movie Up from Disney)
The band consist of 8 members, Nathan East bassist/vocals, Andy Fairweather-Low, lead guitar/vocals, Steve Ferrone- drums, Chuck Leavell-key boardist, Ray Cooper- tambourines, Katie Kissoon and Tessa Niles- vocals, and Eric Clapton- composer, rock n roll guitarist, lead vocalist. The band members dressed in casual attire. The band members were professionals, they knew exactly how to orchestrate every chord, they collaborated with the lead singer and each other in ways that wasn’t so noticeable to the audience but they knew which chords to use for every song, the band was a top notch team. The tempo of the songs were a mixture of fast, slow, to a medium style beat. The texture of the songs was homophonic and well put together lyrics. The style of the music was from the 1960s-1970s which genres were rock, blues rock, psychedelic rock, hard rock, jazz and blues.

By going to as many concerts as they can, fans help the band sell more and you help themselves look and feel like a bigger fan. I personally went to all of their bay area concerts and had to drive down to Pasadena, CA for one when they didn 't have a show here. This made me feel and seem very devoted to the band . Socializing is another big thing in the community of directioners, it helps you meet more people in the same community and creates friendships. For example, just last week I visited a friend in Stanford University who I met through One Direction and I 've made many other online friends that i have more in common with than people around me. Many fans devote their time to fan accounts that they have created to be able to connect with fans and talk about their problems and also talk about the bands
George Helmholtz, as the head of the music department at Lincoln High School, is very determined with his regular students and the gifted musicians of the band. Each semester and year at school he dreams of “leading as fine a band as there was on the face of the earth. And each year it came true”. His certainty that it was true was because he believed there was no greater dream than his. His students were just as confident and in response, they played their hearts out for them. Even the students with “no talent played on guts alone” for Helmholtz.
Most Americans have their favorite place to live or visit whether it be at a coastline or the mountains. The two states that are most favored by Americans are Florida and California. These are the biggest when it comes down to tourist attractions. There are many factors to consider when comparing California to Florida such as housing, weather, food, culture, and beaches.
This album truly gave the band its popularity, containing “Stressed Out” and “Ride” which reached numbers two and five on the top “billboarD” Hot 100 top 5 singles. As of April of 2017, the album has sold 1.5 million copies in the United States alone. The album cover usually confuses many people, as its 9 circles (3 rows of 3) with intricate designs in each circle but, the third and eighth circles are red. Many theories can be found as to why the album looks like this but the band has not released any official information. Many ominous techno sounds can be heard from this album, which creates room for plenty of dark “clique art”. Tyler and Josh often follow clique art accounts are tweet some out occasionally on twitter. During the summer of 2016, the band want on a world tour titles the “Blurry face” tour and include backflips from Josh and many microphone throws and rapping from

This was could be seen by him going through a total of about three different types of guitars and a piano solo throughout the show. When It comes to his playfulness, he loves to talk on stage as well as crack jokes. Before playing “Secret Valentine,” a very popular We the Kings song, he begins by saying he must form a PG-13 version of what the song is actually about due to the birth of his daughter. He goes on to discuss how when he was 15 he played a game of "Tetris" with a girlfriend of his in her bedroom by describing him as the blocks and her as the targeted space to fill, obviously referencing to sexual intercourse. The crowd laughs at the interpretation, and some women and men cheer in support of the action committed so long ago. The song begins "we’ll write a song that turn out the lights, when both boys and girls start suddenly shaking inside," which causes the crowd to get pumped
On November 13th I went to Tramps in New York to see one of my favorite bands, MxPx. MxPx is a Christian pop-punk band. Pop punk basically means happy punk. The band members, are Mike Herrera who plays bass and sings, Tom Wisniewski who plays guitar and Yuri Ruley plays drums. They played about 10 songs, all of which I knew.Some of their songs have to do with society problems through the eyes of a teenager. At the show, the first song they played was one of my favorite's, "Teenage Politics".
Their third album,Vessel, envokes a sensation comprable to that of a therapy session. A melodious, memorable, forty-five minute long therapy session. The album tugs at some hard emotions. This level of emotion causes some to classify it as Emo. I find that to be inacurate. Unlike most Emo music, the album doesn’t leave the listener feeling more dismal afterwards.
After the show had ended, I felt slightly empty. I had waited years and months for that night, and it was over in the blink of an eye. Although I was sad that the show was over, I felt completely content. Now, when I hear their songs, I get to remember what it felt like to hear the band perform them live. I can watch the videos and try to wrap my mind around how it was real. Going to my first concert was an unparalleled experience that I will always cherish. The ambiance, the band’s performance and the unity the audience
