Band: Fountains Of Wayne
Location: Detroit, MI, USA @ The Shelter
Date: Nov. 13, 2003

Equipment: Mini Disc --- Core Sound Binaurals > Battery Box > Sony MZ-R700
Taping Position: Front Of Stack - Left

Notes: I remember the time when, years ago, Radiation Vibe came out. I heard that song & was a bit interested
& a little hooked by the power-pop melodies & catchy vibe to the tune. I purchased the mediocre, some would
say great, album & checked it out a few times - 'twas allright but nothing immensly interesting, to be honest. I
still have it somewhere. But when I heard that Fountains Of Wayne were touring again to get into shape for the
recording of their new album, I had a weird desire to check them out. It helped that the ticket price was
something like $15.00, cheap enough for me I suppose. Pretty much anything is a good time when you go to
the Shelter in Detroit, if a 'known' act is playing there that is. The audience was comprised of a bunch of
teen-agers, I was surprised as I thought they would have older people at least my age at the show but, no, a
bunch of the ALT.WEEZER kids were the core of the audience if that makes sense to you (black-rimmed glasses,
bowling shoes). The band was remarkably tight but, listening to the performance now, have a rather whuney &
immature vibe to the music & lyrics. Sort of like a garage band that got lucky - plain and simple. Sort of like
Guided By Voices.
