[DID NOT ATTEND: August 12, 2022] Guster / Allison Ponthier
I really enjoyed Franz Ferdinand’s first album. Liked their second and then kind of forgot about them. They made a (really good) album with Sparks that put them back on my radar.
This Greatest Hits tour would have been the ideal way to see them.
However, we had tickets to see Elvis Costello–a guy I’ve wanted to see for a pretty long time.
UPDATE: It’s a shame the Elvis show was so meh.
I could have seen Vundabar back in June when they did a headlining tour.
Although, by the time I knew who Vundabar was and was interested in seeing them because of their ubiquitous (in my house) old song “Alien Blues” I was way too late.
I was also a little surprised to find out that their music doesn’t really sound like “Alien Blues”–that song is a bit more frenetic and weird than their most recent album anyway. Although most live reviews I’ve read say they are terrific live.
They’ve got quite the buzz, so I’m sure they’ll be back.
