this show was held at the Key Club. Confide and The World Alive were originally on the lineup but Confide broke up just recently and TWA dropped off for some reason. i had planned on going to this show last second because my friend said she was going to go so i said i'd go with her, plus i just started listening to MMI a few weeks ago. and long story short but not long after telling her i'd go with her i ended up winning 2 free tickets to get on the guest list because i was 1 of 5 people to win a contest on facebook.
i got there around 8 right before the second band Abandon All Ships was about to go on. the place wasn't that packed at the time, but at least a hundred or so people at this show. MMI played Anaheim the night before and it was sold out (Anaheim and LA are only 30min away from eachother). MMI isn't thaaat popular so i wouldn't expect them to sell out two club shows that are right next to eachother.
anyways onto the show. AAS was pretty terrible. it was pretty much metalcore with techno parts and really lame clean vocals (very similar to Attack Attack and We Came as Romans). there were some people jumping around and maybe like 3 hardcore dancers in the pit. my friends walked out after a few songs to grab a bite across the street.
we come back and Bury Tomorrow had just started. they sounded like a generic metalcore band but they weren't that bad live honestly. there were some hardcore dancers in the pit but after awhile a few songs the singer said he didn't want anymore hardcore dancers and wanted "an old school push pit like Slipknot." there wasn't a lot of people involved in the pit but it was fun while it lasted. so for the last few songs there were only push pits until the last breakdown of the last song came on. overall they weren't bad actually, but not a band i'd listen to on my own time though.
now time for Miss May I. the venue still wasn't that packed by the time they came on. the first song kicks in and the singer asks for a circle pit so me and a few people start it but it didn't last that song. throughout the set there were only a few decent circle pits, but for the most there were like 3 or 4 people trying to start the circle pits up but with no luck. every breakdown of the song the hardcore dancers went ballistic though. there like 2 songs that did have some good circle pits though. and one of the last songs had a wall of death which was pretty fun. i forgot which song it was though. it may have Colossal or Architect. the band played pretty well even though the lead singer was a bit off at times. but for their age they did great. i'd see this band again and i could see myself listening to them more in the future.

i think Miss May I has potential to become a bigger band. they've been gaining a bigger fanbase within the past year. plus the new album Monument was a big step from Apologies Are For The Weak imo. supposedly this band is playing Warped Tour next year. i definitely see them getting bigger after doing that tour.
