Franz Ferdinand (Memorial Auditorium/March 23, 2006. Credit: Me) My shoes are fucked up because of the show. Waiting at 8am in the morning and standing in my new shoes while having blisters on my feet. Why do I even try to go through the pain? Anyways, the show wasn't THAT exciting. It had its moments. Franz Ferdinand was what I expected to be. Their show was highly entertaining and their incredible musicians, but their performance wasn't spectacular. The wait leading up to their performance ruined it. Although, I sure do love Scotsmen, especially ones that come from Glasgow. Anyways, the highlights of their show was when they played old hits like "Take Me Out" and "Michael", which really got the crowd going and they're two of my favorite songs from this mainstreamed band. A new member, which makes things confusing because I still do not know whether he is officially in the band or not, was introduced to the crowd. It's funny because the crowd still acted like teenyboppers. It's amazing how kids used to act like that towards boy bands and now they act like teenys when they see Ben Gibbard or Alex Kapranos.
Death Cab For Cute was eh. Like Franz Ferdinand, I got what I expected. Their performance was like how I thought it would be live. I was tired halfway into their set and was about to fall asleep. To tell you the truth, the music didn't make it any better either. I like Death Cab For Cutie, but I wouldn't call myself a true fan. It's just not my type of music. I prefer The Postal Service over Death Cab any day, but I do like DCFC's houses on stage.
Death Cab For Cutie The highlight of the night was seeing UK band and "NME Award Winner" The Cribs. What a great live band. Most of the crowd had no idea who the hell they were, but it was nice to see people getting into their set. I definitely was. "HEY SCENESTERS! HEY! HEY SCENESTERS!" My friend swears one of the brothers was drunk especially with what he pulled off with his guitar. This was really an eclectic show. You've got a mainstream pop/rock band (Franz Ferdinand), an indie favorite (Death Cab For Cutie), and a popular indie rock band from the UK (The Cribs).
