A Fine Frenzy at Schubas

I did not post anything in advance of this show since tickets were sold out a few days after they went on sale.  I had to resort to Craigslist to procure my ticket.  Luckily for me, there was a kind gentleman willing to sell me one at a very reasonable price not far from face + Ticketmaster gouging fees.

To start, this was one of the rare shows you see that you know in your heart of hearts, you will probably not have the opportunity to see again in a like venue.

I was initially going to blow off the opening act, Ferras (Alqaisi).   I would have been disappointed if I had.  He was really solid.  If you enjoy mellow male vocals over piano, you will enjoy.   Apparently, he had a song recently featured on American Idol, and many are predicting superdardom for Ferras.  We shall see. 

On to A Fine Frenzy.   She was amazingly good.  It was her, and two band mates, and for the most part, she played most of her debut album, and a couple covers, including "Across The Universe" and "I Will Follow You Into The Dark."  She seems like a very personable and genuinely uber sweet and overall warm hearted person.  I had the chance to meet her after the show, and was not disappointed there either, though I forgot my autograph as I was too busy taking pics!  It is okay, I have a couple pictures of Alison and I, which will last longer than my lost autographed bookmark. 

Okay, it is late, I need to rest but wanted to share my photos from the show.  I took well over 250, but I narrowed it down to what I feel were my 16 best.  Some have been edited.  Click here to access the photos.
