The Fiery Furnaces in Indy
The Fiery Furnaces came to Indy for the first time last month. Of course I was eagerly attending. Sometimes I worry that I was the only fan there. When they announced song titles, my lone cheer cried out. And sadly, there was almost no encore. I can understand that the Fiery Furnaces isn't an easily accessible band, especially without the keyboards, but it was still a fine performance. I love their intensity, but I have mixed feelings about how they remix their songs during a performance. Mostly because I was sorely disappointed when Chief Inspector Blancheflower ended after, "You can tell me anything 'cept I started dating Jenny." Because I missed the best line - "You know damn well she ain't your Jenny no more!" Ok, ok... pictures:
