Interesting concept that I’m slightly surprised they brought back…I’d like to see a little less hip-hop in the mix, too. Other than that, I think it’d be cool to have a chance to catch a really kick-ass band for free just by sending a text message. Also, they’ve got a blog and a podcast helping to promote the concerts. Smart move.
