Review: Hangover Hero + My Own Army @ Baroeg, 07/10/2011

It's a while ago, but on October 7th I went to a Hangover Hero concert, with My Own Army as support act. This is my review, finally.

My Dad, Mom, little sister and I arrived at Baroeg about one hour before the show. We where quite late -usually when we go to a concert we are in the queue two or three hours before the show- but there weren't much people yet. Ten or fifteen maybe, including us.

Baroeg is a very small venue, with a small bar-like part and a part where the bands play. It is really cute through.
When the doors opened we stayed in the bar-part (I don't know how to call it otherwise) for a while before we walked into the actual part where the band played (don't know another name for this either). Hangover Hero's support act was My Own Army, a band we had never heard of before. People were putting instruments on the stage and stuff (later it turned out to be My Own Army themselves) and we just stood there and waited.

This is My Own Army

My Own Army is awesome! My siter and I both liked their music alot as soon as they started playing. It's a Dutch band, and Dutch bands are usually weird and ugly, but these guys are epic. The song I liked the most was 'Secondhand Mother'. At some point My Own Army played some song from Pink Floyd (How do you even spell that? And nope, I don't know the name of the song). We didn't know it was Pink Floyd until my Dad told us afterwards. But, well, anyways, my sister and I stood at the front and suddenly the singer jumped of the stage right next to us (like, we could have hugged him if we wanted to) and my sister and I where like 'wtf' at first but then we just watched him headbanging and stuff and we went like 'zomg zomg zomg'. I think he found us funny. Then all of a sudden he held his microphone in front of my sisters face and expected her to sing along but we didn't know the lyrics so we just giggled and stepped back. He laughed really hard so I don't think he really cared.
After the show, my Mum brought their CD (they called it an EP, I don't get the diffrence but ok) for 5 euros and got the autographs of all four band members because my sister and I didn't dare to ask (thanks Mum!).
It was really cool. My Own Army rocks.

Then we waited for Hangover Hero. And this old guy wearing a bandshirt from Quarterpast, an album from Mayan I have on my iTunes (lol) started talking to us and we drank a glass of coke. And my sister stole My Own Army's setlist and hanged it on her wall.

Hangover Hero is also awesome! They have this really cool and unique sound. They reminded me of the Foo Fighters a bit. There are no proper pictures of Hangover Hero on Google so sorry, no Hangover Hero pic this time.
Hangover Hero is an unknown band, but it was really great to see dedicated fans singing along all songs and for one moment being the happiest persons alive. Really special.

At the end of the concert we just went home and went to bed immediately. I was soooo tired.

Hangover hero is great. It'd be great to see them live again, and I also want to see My Own Army again.
I hope this review was interesting
