BROOKROYAL – Pointfest Announcement Show

BROOKROYAL

This was a concert to announce The Point’s next Pointfest, which they will also be playing. There were 3 other local bands who opened for BROOKROYAL: Last Nights Vice, Fivefold, and Corvus. (Those pics will be up soon.)

Pointfest #2 of 2007 – Review

Sunday I went to Pointfest with some friends and had a great time. We got there a little before 4. I picked up my 4 tickets and 2 photo passes and we headed in.

Pointfest #2 of 2007

The second Pointfest of 2007 will be on September 30th with tickets going on sale August 4th for $29.

  • Pointfest Lineup
    • Breaking Benjamin
    • Sum 41
    • Three Days Grace
    • Seether
    • Finger Eleven
    • Sick Puppies
    • The Starting Line
    • Evans Blue
    • (hed)PE
    • Hurt
    • Mute Math
    • Chevelle
    • Saliva

It’s a better lineup than the first Pointfest of 2007, but once again the only band I want to see there is Breaking Bejamin.

  • Sum 41, ewe.
  • Three Days Grace, just saw them live a month ago.
  • Seether, saw them a couple years ago at a previous Pointfest.
  • Finger Eleven, know a whole 2 songs by them.
  • Sick Puppies, who?
  • The Starting Line, who?
  • Evans Blue, saw them at the Pageant and was not very impressed.
  • (hed) P.E. saw them a couple years ago at Pointfest, they were ok.
  • Hurt, not a fan at all.
  • Mute Math, who?

I guess this is why I barely listen to the Point anymore, they only play the wussy stuff anymore.

Update: 2 more bands have been added to the lineup, Chevelle and Saliva. Chevelle: Nice. Saliva: No thank you.
