Took my daughter and a friend down to St. Andrews Hall on the 29th to see Never Shout Never (managing to score an autographed shirt from Christopher Drew - I thought Emily was going to faint when she saw it) and caught the opening set of local boys What Happened In Vegas (Warren, MI) who primed the sold-out house, composed mostly of teenage girls and their parents who waited patiently in the back of the room. The boys were lavished with post-performance attention, snapping pics and autographing swag for the freshly pubescent nubiles who swore a blood-oath to follow them to their gig at The Oakland Mall food court on January 14th, 2010. But the teen set aren't the only ones who are supporting the band...(click "read more" below)

(continued from front page)  Hot Topic clothing retailer, a bonafide favorite of the band's target market, is helping make the band a hot commodity by carrying What Happened In Vegas' self-titled EP in all fifteen of their Michigan locations for $4.99 - no doubt in preparation for their presumed mall-tour. The disc was reportedly produced by Casey Bates (Chiodos, Pierce the Veil, This Providence, Daphne Loves Derby). 

If you're not into the mall scene, you can catch the band at the Hartland Performing Arts Center in downtown Howell on Saturday, January 30th 2010.  Bring your ear plugs - not for the music, but for the screaming teenage girls.
