Franz Ferdinand

The spring/summer concerts have begun and Franz Ferdinand was the right way to start things off.

With a little arm twisting and emailing I got Brian to join me for aural extravaganza. The Smith's made it too, stalwarts at front row center seating.

The venue was perfect, the Avalon Theater is not too small, very personal. The fans made for prime people watching, so many huggers, so many freakishly tall people. The music was rad and the guys set a new standard for encores - it was a mini-show with instrumental props. When the band performed a drum solo (together, you had to be there) it reached Legen...wait for it...Dairy status.

Here are a few picks for those that missed out:

The Crowd

Group Drum "Solo"

Live Remix of a few tracks

Sonic Cranberry Limeade, perfect for post-concert dehydration
