After Days Away the lawn emptied like Beaver Stadium after a football game. However, once Anamide got going the crowd started to return. Most people just stood and stared as the lead singer screamed into his microphone, jumping around on the stage and finally tearing off his sweatshirt - and sunglasses.

The band, which hails from Baltimore, brought their own banner promoting their own Web site-who needs a Myspace when you have that?

At the beginning of one of their songs the lead singer said a quote that sounded a little too familiar - until the realization set in that it was one of those quotes splashed across posters in middle schools all over the country, "Shoot for the moon, even if you don't reach you'll land among the stars."

The lead singer mentioned that the band had received hundreds of phone calls and thousands of e-mails to be put on random rotation at their local radio station. Saying that with fans, no matter what kind of band you are, "anything is possible."

But it didn't seem like they had too many fans here, besides a few head bobbers and one girl who seemed to know all the words despite the fact we had no idea what they were singing about. The fact that they played the opening to the song "C is for Cookie" by the one and only Cookie Monster didn't help much.
