British punk rock band Counterfeit made its debut in America at Stubbs Indoor in
Austin. This band completely brought their all with one of the best performances I have
ever seen. Lead singer Jamie Campbell Bower had said how being an actor taught him
what a good show should be and he showed that with his amazing stage presence. A small
stage couldn’t hold the band and so the band took it to the floor to sing with their fans
surrounding them. There was no such thing as barriers or personal space between
Counterfeit and the audience. At one point Bower had gotten a random crowd member to
hold Sam Bower (guitarist) on his shoulders as Sam shredded on the guitar. That kind of
wild energy lasted the whole night, creating a unique, memorable show.
