Spotlight On… Brandon Heard – One Half of the Mediavandals Team!
Most memorable music moment:
I saw Coldplay in Cleveland by accident. After a few “pops” at the local pub in Cleveland, my brother and i bought what we thought were Cleveland Cavaliers tickets for $30 each. Ends up being the best seats for a sold out Coldplay concert. (Richard Ashcroft opened for them, who I am a fan of ). During the show the guitarist threw his ring into the crowd, and it landed at my feet, so i picked it up. I turned around and saw thousands of teenage girls greedily eyeing it. I quickly gave it to the first one i could before getting lynched. Was a great experience. Although they did play a song twice during the show which I though was odd.
