I went to the DFA1979 show last night in Pomona, CA at a venue called the Glasshouse. I was pretty late to the show, expecting that most of the openers would suck. I still managed to get there too early and I had to watch the very last opener. Now usually, this isn't such a bad thing. Usually the last opener for a band as big as DFA would be hand chosen. I'm not necessarily sure if that's what happened for me last night, but imagine this.
five 14 year old boys. rocking. hard. They sounded a lot like the red light sting, and they even played a le shok cover. The frontman was 14 years old TOPS, and he was the most indie kid at the entire show. I was dumbfounded. They were called the "Mean Reds." Can anyone tell me anything about them, or share your stories of bizarre openers.
