Push Play&Tiffany Giardina Performance 4-1909

My last review for Push Play was short and sweet, I wasn’t sure if I would go see them again. Except then I saw that they were going to be playing my local mall. I figured, what the heck, it was only $10, 5 minutes from my house and I had heard great things about Tiffany so I wanted to check her out. Plus, that was months ago. Maybe they’d improved?

Push Play did a short acoustic set. CJ had said it would be only 5 songs, but it actually was more like 7 (by my count). My major issue last show was that I didn’t think CJ’s voice could last for the full set. But I think he has improved. Although, it being a shorter set, maybe he didn’t and I just didn’t know it! But clearly they have a large fan base of teens who disagree with me on that.

My main problem with this show, which was no fault of Push Play, was that they had all the fans standing and the band sitting on a stage that was not very high. If I was lucky, I could see the top of CJ’s head. Luckily, CJ stood for a couple of the faster paced songs so I could see him. Being 5’3″ and almost always standing in the back is not much fun for these types of set ups!

Shortly after Push Plays set, I’d say about half of the girls there left the stage area. Tiffany was playing an electric set, so she would be standing and therefore I’d be able to see her!

Unfortunately due to standing so long waiting for the M&G; and going to the Mets game the day before, I could only handle standing for 3 of her songs. But I loved what I heard. The girl has pipes! I really enjoy her single “No Average Angel” (video posted earlier) And I would definitely consider seeing her again. (If I end up at Bamboozle, maybe I’ll try to catch her set)

Push Play / Tiffany Giardina M&G 4-19-09

The meet and greet, scheduled to start at noon started just before 1 just outside the Black Bear Saloon. Which is located inside the Connecticut Post Mall. I lost count of how many people thought we were in line for the store ‘Justice’ which was next door… that sold clothing for what appeared to be 8 year olds. (The line was young, but not THAT young)

CJ was up first, and I couldn’t help but notice his shoes so that was the first thing I commented on. “Your shoes are awesome” It was a nice ice breaker. We chatted a bit about the bands upcoming trek to California to be featured in webisodes. I believe he told me it would be “Balltastic” which he then told me was his new word. I’m not quite sure that’s going to catch on… He also asked me if I was going to sing along and I hesitated and was like “I don’t know, I’m kind of a new fan” and he was like “You’ll catch on, you’ll catch on” How sweet of him.

Nick was next and we said a quick hello before Steve jumped in and commented on how he liked my shirt. (NY Mets) I told him thanks and that I had been to the game the day before. He mentioned how he went to the game on Thursday and I asked how he liked the new stadium. He said he liked it, which of course led me to tell him about how I think there is not enough blue and orange there. He agreed and I was glad. (I’ve gotten into far too many fights with so called Mets fans who think I am less of a fan because I don’t like that these 2 colors are missing, but thats a story for another day) Nick asked him if for real there was no blue and orange (No, we just had a conversation entirely based on lies lol) and he said yeah.

Next up was Derek. Who said nothing to me. Didn’t even look at me and was clearly too preoccupied with whatever was on the back of his box of scooby snacks to pay any attention to me. I looked at the poster to make sure he signed it (he did) and moved on to Tiffany.

Tiffany is totally adorable and totally sweet. I said it was nice to meet her and couldn’t wait to see her set and she said thanks! Our time was brief because the line was being shoo-ed into the restaurant for the performance.

Tiffany G – No Average Angel

I feel bad that I’m being such a slacker in getting the Tiffany/Push Play review and deets posted. So here is a video of Tiffany singing “No Average Angel”

It’s the only video I took and it’s not the best. But hopefully it will hold you over until I can get my act together! 🙂

(I’m slowly realizing that my little camera is quite a failure with taking videso!)
