New to this forum so thought I would start with a question. Have you guys ever been to a gig/concert where the support band were better than the main band?

Who were they?

Did you know the support band previously or were they a nice surprise? Or even, did you go to the gig especially for the support band?

Here are mine;

I've seen Streetlight Manifesto supporting Reel Big Fish. Had heard of Streetlight before the gig and they were incredible, RBF were good but could not compete. Also third on the bill was Sonic Boom Six (another great band).

Saw Arctic Monkeys supported Maximo Park at an NME gig back in 2006, I went especially for Arctic Monkeys and was not disappointed (I think I left halfway though Maximo Parks set as well (not my sort of band)).

Honeyblood supported Superfood (I hadn't heard of Superfood before the gig and haven't listened to them since). Honeyblood were great. They are a good Glaswegian 2 piece alternative girl band, check them out if you can.

And lastly I saw a band called Freak support Fidlar back in July. There were not as good as Fidlar but were one of the best supports that I had not heard of before a gig in a long time so had to mention it! (if you want to check out freak google freakalt... googling just freak isn't very helpful!)

Peace,
Joe
