American Water, The Fatal Flaw, The Appreciation Post TT @ The Bear's Place, Cambridge, MA 9/30/11
Even though I actually showed up in time for a band with an earlier set time for once in my goddamn life, I'm going to fast-forward through about 150 words of talking about American Water's set. *fast forwards* Okay, sweet, that was informative and well-written, right? Right then, onto The Fatal Flaw. As we all know, I am a huge fan of these dudes! I am really sad because there are only about 10 people watching the band (almost everyone else is around the bar) and that is lame because The Fatal Flaw is the best! They play all their greatest hits, including "Lord, I'm Bored," "Don't Start Believen," "The Last Cassingle," "California Evergreen," and then they finish up with "Narrow Hours." I know all the words to all the songs, and it looks like the blonde chick in front of me does too, so that's cool. Also, Joel Reader's pants are kinda tight and I think that's a crucial quality in a frontman, just sayin'. ALSO, guitarist Aaron Spransy (I looked up his name on facebook, I'm not THAT big of a fan) is hilarious to watch because he has silly onstage guitar-playing antics, so there's that. Anyway these guys sound awesome and everyone should love them, please and thanks.
So, The Appreciation Post is onstage shortly later, and the number of people inside TT's seems to have approximately quadrupled almost instantly. One thing I like about seeing TAP live is that they use less synth than they do on their recordings, and I absolutely dig the slightly grittier versions of these giddy synth-pop anthems. I'm totally singing along to "I'm No Sure Thing" (sweet trivia fact: the music video for this song was filmed in my hometown. Cool right?) and so is pretty much everyone else in the crowd because TAP is really good and apparently a lot of other people in Boston think so too because here they are at the show singing along, YAY! The end.
