KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- It's easy to make assumptions about the band you're seeing live, when as you come out of the venue a line of cars is waiting to pick up kids like any suburban school in Kansas City.

That's exactly what happened outside of the Uptown Theater Wednesday after Paramore played to a packed house.

Judging by the crowd, filled with plenty of teen girls, their boyfriends and their parents, Paramore is a good fit. Their music is loud enough for a little rebellion, but not controversial enough to tick off too many parents.

The unabashed leader of Paramore is lead singer Hayley Williams, who is a little dynamo of singer. With dyed blonde hair featuring a streak of blue on her bangs, Williams has a powerful voice when she wants to and is normal enough that I'm sure many girls can relate to her.

On this night, the band pumped out all of their hits. The band has only released three full-length albums, but seemed to have plenty to choose from on this night.

The biggest responses came to the Paramore songs that have been featured on the radio, movies or video games.

The biggest response of the night came for "Decode." That song was featured on the soundtrack for vampire movie Twilight. It's likely most of the teen girls probably favor Robert Pattison as much as they do Williams.

Other songs receiving big ovations were "Misery Business" and "crushcrushcrush."

The band also features Josh Farro (lead guitar/backing vocals), Jeremy Davis (bass guitar), Zac Farro (drums), and Taylor York (rhythm guitar).

Paramore seems to play crisp and seems to be into the music. Williams is the only person doing the talking between songs and she made nice throughout the show, thanking the crowd for their support.

Williams has been labeled as a performer to watch and she has the voice to match that talk. However, she still hasn't quite reached the same charisma as someone like a Gwen Stefani. It will be interesting if she makes it into the realm of superstardom.

One distracting part of the show was the sound. It seemed like the band's sound crew kept a very muddy mix and it made some of the music and lyrics tough to decide.

And for those that like rock music, the music is a little too safe. Rock music is good because it's edgy. Paramore sounds like the only people they want to offend are ex-boyfriends.

However, it's likely the band is playing to their audience, who seemed to eat up what Paramore was offering. There was plenty of singing along and plenty enthusiasm among the crowd. There was also plenty of picture taking, almost exclusively on Williams.

Paramore has taken its place next to bands like Fall Out Boy, who work the alternative and emo fronts to plenty of success. They likely made thousands of young girls in Kansas City view them as the voice of their angst, even if it was somewhat PG-13.
