It’s been a weekend of shenanigans in Las Vegas with the When We Were Young festival. There was SO much nostalgia brought on by the likes of Yellowcard, Relient K, Michelle Branch and many more, but there was nothing quite as emotional as the reunion of Something Corporate. Talk about when we were young, this band was such a seminal part of my youth (and my musical tastes) and I still can’t quite believe that I was able to see them again.

Another festival highlight was a more contemporary favorite, The Wrecks who start their LA tour next week with stops at the Moroccan Lounge and the Echo. There are also can’t miss shows from Will Linley, Sam Nelson, and joe P. It’s going to be a busy one…
