Hive Mind Tour

I am so excited to say that I will be attending a concert this week, I feel like I haven’t been to one in a long time. The last show I went to was when I went to see Megan Thee Stallion at Sam Houston, and I’m not even going to count that because it was really a concert it was party and she performed there. I didn’t have the best time, but it’s not her fault. She did great, but I could barely see because a group full of tall dudes bum rushed to the front, so they could drool over her. I heard she’s supposed to be having a concert sometime this month at the Smart Financial Centre, so hopefully I’ll be able to go see that. All of that is beside the point though. This Sunday I’ll be going to see The Internet at the House of Blues, and it should be a really amazing experience because I got Meet & Greet Tickets! I’ve never seen the Internet before in concert, but I have seen their lead singer Syd in concert. She dropped her first solo album last year called Fin, and it was great.  That concert was around this same time last year at the same place, and I actually got to meet her. My friend and I saw some of the people hanging around the concert, so we decided to hang around too. We met one of the openers Tayla Parks she’s singer and famous songwriter, and she was selling merchandise and we got to take pictures with her. She also played Little Inez in the Hairspray movie, she was so nice. Later Syd and her mom came out and they were both very sweet and we got to take pictures with Syd as well.

My friend that I went to the concert with last year, Amari actually put me on to The Internet’s music a couple of years ago, and I’ve been a fan ever since. They have four albums Purple Naked Ladies, Feel Good, Ego Death, and Hive Mind. I like that latest two, Ego Death and Hive Mind the most. After they dropped Ego Death in 2015 they all took a break from the band and worked on solo projects. The only person’s solo project I heard was Syd’s, but I’m interested in hearing the other’s. If they’re as good as they are as a group, they have to be good individually. They’re an R&B Soul/ Neo Soul type band and their music is just phenomenal. If you like R&B I think you’d be a really big fan of them.

There are five members of the band. There was a sixth member, Jameel, but he left the group. The only two members that I’m really familiar with are Syd and Steve Lacey. There’s also Matt Martians, he and Syd brought the band together. Then there’s Chris and Patrick, who I don’t know anything about, but hopefully I can get know more about them at the meet and greet. I received an email today that explained how the meet and greet was going to go, and it said we would be able to take a picture with the band and receive a signed poster. I’m hoping that’s not all it entails because I at least wanted to be able to talk to the band members. I’ve never been to a meet and greet, so I don’t know how it will go, but hopefully I enjoy myself. If you’re a fan of The Internet, and you haven’t gotten tickets to the show yet, you can still find some at live nation.com!
