Wango Tango

People have been asking, "approximately how many people do you think were at Wango Tango?" I've always been terrible at guessing how many candy corns are in the jar, so count for yourselves:



What - 10,000? 20,000? 30,000?

Whatever.

To me, "a lot" covers it. Especially when they're mostly screaming teenage girls. It's loud, no matter what the number.

This was an important show for us. It was our first show outside of the big Disney bubble, playing to a mainstream rock crowd. Of course, many folks from said bubble were present and enjoying themselves. No one was really surprised that Miley went over like gangbusters. She does just happen to be an incredibly entertaining and stunningly talented young lady, and I think that appeals to more than just one demographic.

The big shindig took place in a dusty void otherwise known as Irvine, California. So once again, we were left to our own boring devices for several hours with nothing but a mini carnival and some La Salsa to keep us busy. And some celebrities here and there. Kim Kardashian and her family were present, as were a bunch of people from that reality show "The Hills" (on which I'll refrain from expressing my opinion) and I swear I saw Phil Collins, though Jamie says it wasn't him.

I ended up watching a movie on my iPod in the dressing room. Aren't I exciting!?

The set was really fun and energetic. While we were playing, offstage to my right I noticed various dancers who weren't performing (just being supportive), Jack from the Jonas Brothers, Ryan Seacrest and Lindsay Lohan. Interesting mix.

I leave you with a picture of the Jonas Brothers during their set:

  2. I don't know if you read the blog Idolator, Mike, but even those congenitally snarky music snobs praised the set in their typically backhanded way - I was really excited to see this:

    And yes, I did also first find your blog and ultimately your album because of the Jonas Brothers - so haha thanks for the snap. But more importantly...are you planning any solo shows on the East Coast in the near-ish future? Say, Philly?

  9. Mike-
    I know this may sound silly, but I want to thank you for always posting Miley in a positive light. The fans appreciate it very much, and I know I've 'shut up' some haters when directing them to a blog by someone who actually knows her personally.
    She got amazing reviews from this show. Not surprising.
    I love your blog. You seem like a really cool guy.

  11. Holly: I was walking around that sad little almost-carnival during the JB set, and just wandered in to take a few pics and that video. Then I went back to the dressing room.

    Yeah, that "Fly on the Wall" voice is pretty creepy. I have to channel Ethel Merman for that one.

    Elizabeth: we are playing at the Z100 show in New York next week. That's the only public full show we're doing on the east coast as of now.

    It's always nice to hear that you guys like what I'm writing. Thanks for reading!
