Kennewick

You all know I’m obsessed with playfully satanic, masked Swedish pop metal band Ghost. Here’s a clip of their opening song, “Rats,” from their gig last year at the Toyota Center in Kennewick WA.

I grew up about an hour east of the Toyota Center in Kennewick WA, so even more in the middle of nowhere than the Toyota Center in Kennewick WA, and I remember how special it was going to see shows at the Toyota Center in Kennewick WA, because no one came to the Toyota Center in Kennewick WA, on account of it being the Toyota Center in Kennewick WA.

Ghost absolutely kicks the shit out of this song, even though the arena’s a quarter full and they’re playing in a town most Washingtonians can’t find on a map. I won’t lie, Tobias Forge shouting “TRI-CITIES…ARE YOU WITH US?” made me tear up a little.

Gigs like these change lives. I know first hand.
