“It’s my first time here but it’s awesome,” Taylor Spigler said about the Thought Lot event on Thursday, March 6. All couches were filled in the warehouse space, although they did not stay that way long once the music started playing.
Bishops, who is touring with Rozwell Kid, was up first for the night. Their first night on tour, their indie style resonated throughout the entire building. Many of the audience members got up at this point to enjoy the loud music closer and were soon dancing.
After Bishops, Hector’s Pets followed up. Their rocker sound sent the audience into a frenzy. More than half the people standing up were dancing and thrashing about in front of the stage.
“We loved the crowd here… They were more pumped than crowds in New York; they basically stood around,” a member of Hector’s Pets said.
They also commented that crowds like this were their favorite; they feed off the energy and it only made them want to play more.
Michael Direnzo, another audience member, said he thought Hector’s Pets was one of the best groups of the night because “the number of dancing legs” was more than any other group.
Then came one of the most anticipated acts of the night, Fletcher C. Johnson. As Johnson got up to preform, he also commented on the fact that this crowd was insane, especially for a Thursday night.
His style followed the others, making the crowd go just as wild as before.
Rozwell Kid finished up the night. Sean Hallock, who books shows and works the sound for each event he books, ended up playing the drums for them.
Rozwell Kid did not disappoint. Keeping the same energy as all three other bands, the guitarist ended up in the middle of the crowd on the ground.
This ended the night on an extremely high note and left many breathless as they walked out the door.
