Fiery furnaces

Here's how I described the show to my pal W2:

The Fiery Furnaces were...odd. It was an extremely entertaining show though. The drummer was a nutcase and very entertaining. The singer was pretty much an hour or more of non-stop prose coming right out of her mouth with little to no expression. I think she has a few screws loose. In fact, the entire band seemed like the may have just escaped from an institution. And the crowd was weird too - moshing! It seemed like there were about 15-20 people who had joined the cult of the fiery and had clearly seen their shows before, responding - even initiating - call/response lyrics from the band. Odd.

More pictures from the show.

Oh, Low Flying Owls opened and were really good.

And yes, I did drive up and back from the springs for this show. Feeling Sean's pain.
