I have seen Hinder a few times since they started out as a band. I am all about the drummer, guitar player and bass player. I admit, though, I didn't think that they were going to rock it as hard and sound as good with their new lead singer, Datton. Boy, was I wrong! They brought down the house Wednesday night at the Central Washington State Fair!The drummer, Cody Hanson, is my favorite! Right before I went up and introduced them, he walked over and said "Hey, you're Kelly West the rock chick, right?" Wow! I thought that was pretty cool. I figured that even though he follows me on Twitter, it was one of his groupies or something that did that! Awesome!

At one point in the show, you will notice in the photos that the singer grabbed someone's cellphone and started a video! He took it on stage and filmed the whole band in the middle of "Homecoming Queen!" Good stuff!

Check out photos from last night's show and our awesome KATS listeners! Go to a show at the Central Washington State Fair -- Grand Funk Railroad's coming up Friday night!
