Review: 3oh!3 at the Orbit Room



By Melinda Wilcox

I may have felt like I was at a high school party last night at the Orbit Room's 3oh!3 concert, but it was definitely worth it.

The crowd consisted of mostly an under-21 age group, with the exception of a large line of parents against the back wall. The line was backed up pretty far even after the doors had been open for nearly 45 minutes.

I missed the opening act and most of hellogoodbye's set. Then seven-man Canadian group Down with Webster came out. It formed as a middle school talent show band in 2006. By 2009, the band was being scouted by Gene Simmons and Timbaland for their record labels.

For 3oh!3's set, stage was set up with a huge American flag-type 3oh!3 banner and huge animatronic wolves with laser eyes on each side of the stage. Everyone was dancing and singing to what was mostly songs from the new album Streets of Gold. The band played its recent hit, “My First Kiss,”its breakout song “Don’t Trust Me,” and added in some clips of covers including Tupac’s "Changes," Scorpions' "Rock you like a Hurricane," and a rendition of the Jurassic Park Theme song. The band also announced that its new single will be “Double Vision,” so be on the lookout for that coming soon.
