Okay, so you remember when I posted about bandom music? And I promised primers & picspams? Yeah, I thought you might.
So, being as I am too lazy and/or still too uninformed (there's only so much one can soak up at once!), I am going to link to some shiny primers, rather than making my own.

I'm putting this one first because, umm, it's full of pretty. That seems a perfectly good reason. Possibly it should be first and last so that you can see all of the reasons why bandslash is a great place to be, and then once you have learned everything there is to know about them, you can go back and ogle them some more.

Okay, that's all I've got for now. If you still need more like an addictive drug to shoot up in your veins, there's a giant list of primers & such over here done bywistfuljane. I think all of these are on that list, but I figured I should give it to you guys in slightly more manageable doses.
Fair warning, clicking on too many of these links in one day may lead to brain splodey.

I want to say that their first actual live show was not until when they came back from recording the album? But I'm not sure if I really read that somewhere or if I imagined it out of thin air.
I would have commented on the post, but I wasn't sure if you were still updating it or not.
Oh, hey, I didn't imagine the second part! It mentions it in their bio at FBR here (http://www.fueledbyramen.com/bands/index.php?id=43).
and when they returned to Las Vegas after recording, they played a hometown show (actually, the band's first live concert ever) and over two hundred people showed up.
If pressed, I might be able to find the interview that the first part was from, but I'm not sure. It was probably during one of my being-eaten-by-youtube-because-i-can't-stop-clicking-associated-video-links things that seem to be more and more common since I got into bandslash.

Brendon's said that they actually stopped to play a show on the way back from Maryland (before they got back to Vegas), so yeah, canon sources have the danger of being fuzzy. (There are also differing reports on how Ryan first got in touch with Pete, wherein "differing reports" = things both Pete and Ryan have said at different times, oy.)

*sigh* Bad enough we've got to try and figure out canon from all the interviews and stuff, they they've got to go and contradict each other. Silly boys.
It's totally understandable that there wasn't much in the way of canon to go by at the time. I've been reading a lot of fic lately that's set in the pre-fame days and it's kinda crazy how different everybody's imagining of the events of their signing can be based on what canon they had available/had seen when it was written.
