[from
San Francisco, CA] Another instance of my distorted perspective of band
popularity – I realized in the morning that not marking this band as my #1 for
the day had been an oversight but I doubted that we’d even get in because they
were so huge – we were one of thirty people maybe on a distinctly uncrowded
patio. Don’t know if it was the day, the time, or if I really have no sense of band
status, in my own little world of total music access. Anyway, they were
fantastic. They sounded less electronic live than they do recorded. They’re
just high-quality textured indie rock with pleasingly quirky twists in the
riffs and the vocals. The lead singer was endearing and enthusiastic with his
one feather earring. The crowd was mostly young gay males but I think it was
more a function of the neighborhood than the band, though the feather earring
gives me pause. They ended with their HUGE HIT “Ghetto Ways.” Well, their #1
fan was very pleased. (Photo courtesy of https://www.gettyimages.com/photos/scissors-for-lefty?sort=mostpopular&mediatype=photography&phrase=scissors%20for%20lefty)
