The Veronicas rock the Music Box
I had seen the Veronicas once before, last year when they opened for Natasha. I knew who they where before the show, of course, but I had never heard anything from their second album until that day. And “Untouched” totally blew away anything they had done previously. I left that show with two thoughts in my mind, “Natasha was awesome!” And “I gotta get the Veronica’s new CD.”
The following day I got the album in iTunes. And the day after that, I decided I needed to see them in concert again. I got my chance this week when they played a sold out show at The Music Box at the Fonda in Hollywood on Tuesday (06/23/09). I got there at 7pm, my usual “hour early,” only to find that they had changed the schedule to add an extra opening act. Now Carney was set to go on at 8:00 – 8:40, followed by Pretty Reckless from 9:05 – 9:45, and finally the Veronicas from 10:15 – 11:45. And they stayed pretty close to that schedule, with the Veronicas wrapping up their show at 11:35pm.
But, I’m getting ahead of myself, lets start with the line outside.
They searched all the guys really well, patting us all down. The girls, well, they just kinda looked at them. Sexist security much?
The first opening act was Carney. They where okay. Also the girls tell me that they where really sexy. I wouldn’t know. LOL
The second act was Pretty Reckless. Upon seeing her walk out, the gentleman next to me commented that it was more like “Pretty Naked.” I wanted to disagree, but he wasn’t that far off! I do have to admit she was cute. And musically, she was okay.
Finally, it was time for my girls! 
I had never used my new camera at a concert before (as you recall, I just missed getting it in time for Demi’s last concert) so I was learning as I went along. By the end of the show, I think I had it figured it out.

Not too bad, if I do say so myself. 
Oh, and the show was amazing. “Take me on the Floor” was perfect. And they had some great banter, at one point I remember Lisa asking “Has anyone here in love?” *cheers* “Is anyone in love with me?” *louder cheers*
Mandy Moore put on a good show earlier this month, but this, a real concert was something I really needed. Definitely a highlight of the year so far.
