Not an original title, I know....Last night, we went to our second concert in NYC since we've been here. Dual headliners Death Cab for Cutie and Franz Ferdinand at the Hammerstein Ballroom...
We hung out a friend's place since we didn't want to waste time with the opening act, The Cribs. Unfortunately, we mistimed our arrival as Death Cab's set was already underway when we got there.
Maybe it was the fact that the place was hot, packed, and we were standing the whole time, but Death Cab's set was not nearly as inspiring or entertaining as it was when we saw them in Chicago. Add to that some rude tween/teen/post-collegiate attitude from a couple fans in the crowd (see obnoxious pushing) and it wasn't the greatest experience.
I had never been a huge Franz Ferdinand fan but their set was energetic and gay dudes, frat boys and little kids (yes, there were a bunch of little kids in the balcony) all came together when they belted out their anthem Take Me Out.
