Tonight's Concert: Fair To Midland

I'm going to see Fair To Midland at Stubb's outdoor stage tonight (after dinner with the Case family at East Side Cafe, yummm).

FTM, who I've written about several times before, play on my love for creative singers with a wide vocal range, interesting instrumentation, art-rawk and general over-the-top-ness. (See: Tool, Mars Volta, Faith No More.)

Watch the video for "Dance of the Manatee"*:

Laurie, you'll be interested to know they're signed to Serjical Strike, Serj's record label via Universal Republic.

* That growly nonsense he does before the bridge? He doesn't do much more of that on the rest of the record.

I'd like to go to three different shows tonight, but having prior plans means I'm not going to any of them:

As Tall As Lions at Popscene
The Veils at Cafe Du Nord
Fair To Midland at Slim's

In my latest installment of "When The Lights Go Down In The City" on SFist, I wrote about all three bands, I'm giving away a copy of Audrye Sessions' new record and I recorded my Top 5 moments at Feist's show at the Fillmore this past Tuesday.
