Las Vegas post-hardcore group Escape the Fate has come a long way since winning a contest from a local radio station in order to open for My Chemical Romance in 2005.

As long as there have been tickets, there have been scalpers. Years ago, scalpers were seen as the sleazy guys standing outside of a venue wearing trench coats lined with tickets trying to make a profit off of desperate fans. Now, modern technology has brought the scalping game online, where scalpers can buy and sell large quantities of tickets with little to no policing of the process.

I have to admit, I had no idea who Candlebox was before going to see them in concert at the Knitting Factory. So, in an attempt to do some research, I searched them on Google. What I found was an acoustic version of one of their songs, which sounded rather mellow. Boy, that was not a good representation.
