I’m a lead singer (Daggers), and we played a show the other night at The Joint. We promoted it for weeks and honestly we were kinda nervous no one would show. But when we set up, there was a full room of people. It was one of the best hometown shows we played, and kids went crazy. The whole room was moving. It meant the world to me and my friends!
