TAKE CARE tears up Warped Tour 2015
TAKE CARE, a band founded in Fredrick, MD got the extreme honor of playing the Earnie Ball stage at the Columbia, MD date of Vans Warped Tour, on July 18th, 2015. The band started off in the online Battle Of The Bands a few months ago, where in order to win you have to get a certain number of votes, the general public is allowed access to listen to a few songs by each band and vote up their favorites. Finalists got to play at the Warped Tour date in their area. I made a promise to drummer, Dan Macon, that I would be in the front row, screaming his name when they got on stage to play. After standing in the longest merch line ever, I realized I had 10 minutes til TAKE CARE was on and decided to come back, the PVRIS merch could wait, I had a promise to keep. My friend, Stacie, and I booked it to what we thought was the Earnie Ball stage and stood for a few minutes. After realizing there was way too many people and I saw Dan no where I looked up to see I was actually at the Monster Energy stage, and proceeded to fix my minor mistake. I made it to the stage with about 5 minutes left in the other band's set and I did get a front row spot. Then Stacie said "Hey isn't that Dan?" and pointed side stage. I ran over and gave him a hug and from what I could tell the band was very nervous but VERY PUMPED. I talked to Dan for a second and then went to reclaim my front, middle spot, right where I could see all of the band. When it was TAKE CARE's time to shine, a mass of people was behind me, ready to see the guys in action. They rocked the entire stage. The audience (including myself) was singing along to songs, moshing, dancing, jumping, loving every single second of the TAKE CARE set, and it seemed as though the band was having a blast too. This was my first time seeing them live and I'm hungry for another TAKE CARE live show now. They are naturals in pop-punk live scene, at least in my opinion. I felt as though I was seeing a big band such as, NECK DEEP or Set It Off play by the way the crowd was reacting. Expect to see these guys headlining soon, I wouldn't be surprised, and if you didn't catch them at Warped Tour 2015, catch them playing house shows, or listen to them on band camp where their album All This Time I've Felt Like Nothing is out for free. Also give them a Facebook like and stay tuned for all that TAKE CARE has in store, I'm getting good vibes.
