Opening the Smoking Popes show was Lightweight. It was nice to hear them on a bigger sound system- Donny usually maxes out smaller PA systems. They sounded really good and they were pumped to open the show.
Lightweight are:
Donny:Guitar and Vocals
Bryan:Guitar and Vocals
Jeff:Bass and Vocals
Jake:Drums

What a stacked lineup at Press Club this past Thursday for the Camp Fire benefit. Lightweight kicked it off with their catchy pop punk. Donny (Vocals) was eating honey in between songs- the only other person I have seen do that on stage is Debbie Gunn (Sentinel Beast). Gives you an idea of his vocal style.

Lightweight has a new-ish CD out “Cross and Burn” that I picked up at the show. Well done pop punk with gruff vocals and nice guitar work. The main vocalist(Donny?) was dressed as a hamburger during the set.

Joe McKinney posted about this band a couple weeks back and I loved the stuff I heard on bandcamp. They were just a good live- great pop punk with catchy lead guitar work. Great stuff- they have a cassette for sale, check them out!
