The Murat, Indianapolis, Sept. 12, 2007
more live music for the boy.
altho i probably shouldn't call myself a boy based on the age of the crowd.
teens teens teens.
but i got over the age difference and parked myself at the stage like usual.
the evening started with smoosh, those adorable teenage sisters from seattle with their drums and keyboards sonic attack.
i've seen them once before when they opened for the eels a few years back, and once again that "creepy old guy" feeling washed over me.
it really shouldn't bother me, cuz i know i'm there for the rights reasons, which is to see the girls rock out. but i'm sure there's a small part of the population out there that would run to the stage just to ogle the teens and their blossoming beauty.
the crowd went nuts when the girls invited their little sister out to play bass!
the kid couldn't have been older than 8!
but there she was, rocking the bass.
after smoosh came final fantasy.
i did a little internet research before the show to see what they're all about and found out that it's one guy from toronto who plays violin.
WTF?
this dude is opening for bloc party?
but it really turned out to be pretty interesting.
he loops his violin parts thru effects pedals and adds layers to it.
if that wasn't trippy enough for you, he brought out his lady friend to project artistic renderings on a white background while he played.
wild.
and finally, bloc party brought their blast to the stage.
it was pretty cool being a few feek away from these guys, especially when they're really known for playing the massive festivals in england.
sorry.
i haven't been able to dig up a setlist at this point.
next up on the prowse live music calendar:
henry rollins (spoken word) in ann arbor on october 13.
