Christmas Chaos: Music, Comedy, and Stories of Meeting Ozzy

I'm pretty sure that my stomach is still sore from the amount of laughing I did at Jim Breuer's phenomal, hilarious, and amazing act with 'Jim Breuer and the Loud and Rowdy."  I'm still looking up Citizen Zero songs online to listen to and pretend I'm at a concert.  And I'm probably close to throwing out my neck pretending to air bass and pull the moves that  Emma Anzai does on stage with Sick Puppies.

With Q103's "Christmas Chaos" show this past Wednesday at Upstate Concert Hall, fans got treated to a lineup starting with Citizen Zero, brining Detroit vibes to the stage.  Jim Breuer and the Loud and Rowdy followed them with an unbelievably hysterical mix of heavy metal from clearly legit musicians and stand up comedy including impersonations and rock and roll stories from Jim's life.  I've honestly never laughed so hard at a concert, and for the fans who were there, it was a treat.  There's nothing like a Joe Pesci impersonation with the sound of heavy metal in the background, followed by stories of riding a private jet with ozzy.

Following Breuer was the last two acts- Trapt and Sick Puppies.  Both very different types of music but both igniting the Christmas Chaos crowd just as much.  Trapt played a mix of new and old, and began their last few songs with of course their hit "Headstrong" which drove the crowd wild.  As Sick Puppies took the stage as the last and final act, everyone was well into the music and rocking, and I just stood in amazement at their thoroughly amazing bass player.  Having "stage presence" is an understatement, and her energy and move were reminiscent of guitarist Nita Strauss (touring with Alice Cooper).

After Christmas Chaos, I am thoroughly excited for what the holidays and even more ready to rock into the New Year!
