Mainstream bands to play Wednesday night
Other than co-headlining a show at the Stroh Center, Switchfoot and Anberlin have another thing in common: the love of engaging a live audience.
Chad Butler, Switchfoot's drummer, and Stephen Christian, Anberlin's lead vocalist, spoke to The BG News about their upcoming show, set to begin at 7 p.m. Wednesday.
While both bands have been associated with the Christian rock genre, Butler said Switchfoot makes music geared toward all groups.
"I'm a believer, and obviously my faith is going to influence my art," Butler said. "I feel that we do make sure that we're making music for everyone and that everyone feels welcome."
Christian said the lyrics to Anberlin's songs are meant to expose all of his personal failures and successes, and he asks the audience to learn from them. He classified the band's music as "energetic indie wave."
"[It's] energetic rock, but indie music and new wave music kind of added in together," Christian said.
Both musicians enjoyed the spontaneity of the live experience and both bands change nightly setlists for shows.
"There's a freedom and uncertainty to the live show," Butler said. "I think that danger, that element of the unknown, is what makes each show exciting, so I love playing live."
Christian said colleges are among Anberlin's favorite places to play with a "rambunctious" crowd providing an energetic atmosphere. He also noted the challenge of connecting with an arena crowd instead of a more intimate club setting.
"The idea to try to get everyone involved no matter where they are sitting in the entire audience," Christian said. "That's definitely one of the biggest goals ... to make it feel like even though there's 5,000 people in there, that we're just playing for you."
Butler said the crowd interaction was an important motivator in their live show.
"Hearing people sing the words back to us is the best part of the night," said Butler. "This is the power of music is to unify people of all different backgrounds together, sing a song .

But to see a left-of-center song work hopefully will open up the door for more music like this to be played on American radio. The other example would be Beck's "Loser." That really paved the way for a lot of artists, or even Phoenix with "Lisztomania"

NOAH AND THE WHALE - MY DOOR IS ALWAYS OPEN LYRICS
I will not disappoint you.
I will not disappoint you.
But my door is always open.
Yeah, my door is always open.
Well, I do not think I never loved you.
But the world is dying to meet you.
Oh black birds, they sing out of the mountains.
Happy love songs that drift through the house.
But now I'm free
Now I'm free
Now I am free of all your pain.

Oh well church bells they are ringing for you.
Oh and choirs are singing in red
Oh your voice could summon the angels
And your beauty could waken the dead.
But now I'm free
Now I'm free
Now I'm free from all your pain.
Well you have only let me down
You have only let me down
But my door is always open
Yeah my door is always open.
Yeah I love with my heart and I hold it in my hands
But you know my heart's not yours.
