Review:
An amazing show at Micky's lounge. Set one was a brilliant performance, one of the most solid from Matt & Brad. Kicking things off with a rockin' JULY, bringing back A SORTA FAIRYTALE into the set, flawless performances of BELIEVE, RED HOT MAMA, and AS I GO ALONG (with the vocal beauty of rose record), and amazing performances of newer FG songs WILLOW, SOMEWHERE, LIGHTS UP, and KIDO made set one very special. Set two, however, was even more special. This was one of the most elegant sets matt and brad will ever play in their short short sloppy lives. They were joined onstage by concert violinist Meghan Engel, who without ever hearing their music played along perfectly. It was amazing to witness! The audience was in awe! Highlights were RESTITUTION and SAVANA (Meghans solo's were brooding and heart retching!), and a killer finale was a medley of BOY OBSERVATIONS which lead into an intense WORTH HIS WHILE which lead into an even more intense RAINING BLOOD. It was a night to remember!
