One of my favorite bands in the last 20 years came by Austin again. I had tickets to see them in the last decade but was too sick to go. Not this time!
Somara accompanied me which tells you how good they are, she only goes if they have a pretty wide appeal. I’m glad they played Emo’s too. Personally I think they deserve the fame and success Coldplay has since they don’t repeat the same melody on every other hit they make and they are what Blur could’ve been before Damon started believing his on hype via Gorrillaz (can’t get into them still).
Back to FF. They were great! They love the crowd. The material from their new album Always Ascending was mixed in with the hits everybody loved, namely the wall of guitars they have when they do “Take Me Out.” Sadly, no songs from their joint venture with Sparks; a personal favorite.
I know I make this statement all the time but I wouldn’t if I didn’t mean it. Either buy some FF albums and/or see them in concert, I guarantee you’ll love them. Streaming doesn’t count in my opinion.
Swap #17 with “Stand on the Horizon” and it’s an accurate set list.
