Serial Joe

Not even old enough to drink the beer being spat at them from the already steaming mosh-pit, 15 year old teen-poppers- Serial Joe-decked out in jeans four sizes too big-opened up Thunderbird Stadium with a limb-flailing set of hyperactive guitar drawl. Signature spikey-haired frontman Ryan Dennis lead his band through a 20-minute set of guitar-drenched crowd-pleasers from their latest album Face Down, including "Denial" and their current radio hit "Mistake." Despite their lack of age, Serial Joe played a provoking, leg-stomping set and seemed well able to prepare the crowd for the forthcoming day of rocking out.
