Blue October

We saw a sold out Blue October show last night at the Roxy. They are a Houston band that is getting a lot of buzz right now. Their latest Unversal release, "Foiled," debuted at #29 on Bllboard's Top 200. The first single from the album is a warped love song called "Hate Me."

Vote for the video at VH1.

Their moody debut cd, "The Answers," still ranks as one of my all time favorites. These days, they are a much harder band than when I followed them in Texas. But the passion, intesity and, yes, dementia of lead singer Justin Furstenfeld are still there... just a little louder.
