I saw the faint at bfd(shoreline). The fan base there was way more energetic. None the less, Aug 4th was amazing. They played everysong I could dream seing live and on top of that the venue was amazing. Wouldnt trade it for the world.

The mad scientist theme was awesome as well.

Nice review. I enjoyed the show!! However, I’m from Denver and this was my first show in SF. Without trying to offend or make any judgments, I thought the crowd in SF was very laid back to the point of seeming less interested. Denver went NUTS for The Faint, SF seemed to simply enjoy the show. Also, in Denver, the crowd seemed much more dressed up for the show (i.e. - rowdy hair- rowdy cloths etc.). Was the August 4th show at the Fillmore representative of most SF crowds?

Bummer on no poster. I’m less than optimistic for the Regency show then. Boo!

I liked your description of their new sound. Listening to the new album, I see it dissected into 3 areas: classic (yet refreshed), math rock and pop. Could have done with the pop feel which you more accurately described as ‘uptempo’, but nothing is bad, per say.

It was great to have the background from your other article about the fact that this new album is from their own label (having dropped their original label). Gives perspective on their new sound.

they put on a great live show! can’t wait to see what they play tonight… and Sat night… does seeing the faint 3 times in one week make me a groupie?
