The Headlights Rock!

Back in Champaign-Urbana we were introduced to a band called The Headlights. Andy heard about them originally because the lead singer, Erin, is the daughter of a man he worked with, and they had just had one of their songs featured on Grey's Anatomy ("Everybody Needs a Fence to Lean on", Episode 18).

Since The Headlights are on a European tour right now, we gathered up a posse and went to see them in Remseck am Neckar, a subburb of Stuttgart, last Friday night. We got there early and spent some time talking with Erin before the show started and met the other band members, Brent and Tristen. They played at this place called Haus der Jugend, which is a community center of some kind. Although the venue was tiny - literally the size of a living room - it was packed with 40 people by the time the show started. It was a really fun show. Hopefully their European tour will be a big success and they'll headline in Stuttgart again soon. :)
