VIP: Infected Mushroom at The (legendary) Fillmore

Ben is friends with Erez of Infected Mushroom. Last time we saw him in Los Angeles he invited us to come see him perform the next time he was in San Francisco. The day before Christmas Eve happened to be that time and we were given four VIP passes for the Infected Mushroom concert.

I have to say that I'm not crazy about trance music-- it's Ben's thing. I have my hip-hop, he has his electronica. I can appreciate it for what it is, I just have a hard time dancing to it, and I love dancing.

Well, the latest Infected Mushroom album kind of puts a different spin on trance music. It still has that electronic feel, but it also has the dancey/fun qualities of a rock and roll album. I really like it, and I can definitely dance to it.

We had a blast at the show and took advantage of the VIP treatment we received by raiding the cooler in the Infected Mushroom dressing room (Infected Dressing Room?) and being able to sprawl out and relax and stare down at the groundlings from our balcony view. Check out the video Ben's friend Niko made, and the photos I took over a month ago at the show.
