ours (the band) in columbia, 07/25/08

i ventured to columbia yesterday with my wife, anna, and friend, shane to see ours, a band of which i have written about here before (we saw them a few months back in goose creek, opening for filter). they were headlining this show, so we had hopes of more than the six songs we heard from the first show. there were two opening bands, and both were pretty alright. the first was a band called plain jane automobile from orlando, the second called god or julie from brooklyn.

ours took the stage around 10:45, i think, and played a strong hour and 45 minutes. they played songs from their first album distorted lullabies, as well as from their latest album mercy. i got a copy of the setlist, so here is what they played:

willing
black
mercy
drowning
i'm a monster
here is the light
ran away to tell the world
murder
live again
god only wants you
the worst things beautiful
fallen souls
get up

i can't say anything here that i didn't say in my post from the last time. but again, you must check out this band. seriously. and seeing as how there were like 20 whole people there last night, i can tell that nobody listens to me. well fine!

i was able to record video for one of the songs (the worst things beautiful) with my digital camera. the audio and video both are kinda sketchy, but it was wicked loud and dark, so... anyways, here is the video footage:

i got to chat with the lead singer for all of 10 seconds before i backed away because i could tell he was anxious to get about his night. who would blame him. i look like a giant ogre standing next to him. that is a big head!!! i can't wait to see them again.
