I've been obsessing over new find Locksley for a couple of weeks now and thanks to the good people over at Musebox, I had the chance to see them live only a week after receiving the cd in the mail at the Musebox Halloween party.
So before hitting the bars with friends (as a pretty spot on pirate might I add), I headed over to Fontana's to have my picture taken by the event photographer, the fabulous Brad Walsh, and see the group whose album has been in my cd player for the past week. Dressed as superheros (the drummer opted for a James Dean outfit actually), Locksley slowly filled up the wee room at Fontana's after they got going with a few songs. Though I think the album is outstanding, in person I thought the songs ran together a bit too much. The set was tight and energetic though and they stopped in the middle to give away a couple of free drinks to the best costume in the crowd, which was very endearing. They remind me a bit of The Wonders from the film That Thing You Do or like a punk version of early Beatles.
This was my first visit to Fontana's and it's ok. Sort of like a backwards Delancey. The show area though is very cramped and those at the back have a hard time seeing the stage at all. The upper levels are great but it's not the best spot for seeing a show, though the whole underground feel is kind of fun.
