Franz Ferdinand 02.19.04
@ Bowery Ballroom NYC Admittedly, the highlight of the Franz Ferdinand set for me was the incessant squealing and seemingly involuntary turret's -like declarations of love emanating from New York Doll and Ultragrrrl. To wit... Happily drunk, I sauntered down to the Bowery Ballroom with Jenny Penny and Lauren to see Franz Ferdinand, AKA, the awesomest band that makes me grow a peepee just so it can get hard. I can't believe I went to see them at Pianos a couple months ago and now they're headlining a sold out show at the bowery ballroom and with each show i'm getting more and more stoked. New York Doll got so stoked that she couldn't help herself from shouting out "OH MY GOD YOU'RE SO HOT!" ... uhh... which caused Alex the singer to start giggling while singing "Jaqueline." Please, if you can, please go see them live, or at least buy their album when it comes out next month. I'm gonna buy myself like 4 copies for me and my friends. I only have 3 friends. While I have more than a fair amount of healthy respect for the concept of British music in general, quite frankly Franz Ferdinand did not change my life (that distinction actually goes to The Cure) - but they do put on one helluva show, certainly the most hyped one, 'til the next big one comes to town next month. franzferdiand.co.uk |
