Every show I go to has a story. Going to shows is something that makes me feel alive. I started this site during one of the lowest points in my life. I was going to a lot shows alone and found a unique, life-saving, creative outlet in the written word, so I began writing about my thoughts and feelings and how they related to shows.

 

I enjoy writing about the weird, and often hilarious, shit that happens throughout shows or during the night. I think most music reviews are boring and often negative. I started this site to help change that.

 

I live in Orlando, Florida. If you would like to contact me, email: mitch@showsigoto.com
