For one of the first times since I have been to The Echo, the set times were actually acurate. I assumed the first band, Pop Levi would go on sometimes between 9:30-10P. Unfortunately I was wrong. During most of the set I was enjoying a large dirty martini at Taix across the street and came in for last three songs of Pop Levi. Lucky for me I got to hear one of my favorite tracks "Pick-Me-Up Uppercut" and then the show ended with an acoustic track.
Mozambique Courier aka Pop Levi, once a member of Ladytron is fabulously 60's costume. With his mop head hair cut, lean and cuffed pants, and slight make up he's a throwback of fun.
I felt like I had come home when I saw Pop Levi, and then the Friendly Fires perfom for a smaller crowd....the kind of space and mass I prefer rather than such large shows at the Mayan and The Nokia. I love the intimacy and accessability to the music you get from places like The Echo, Spaceland and my beloved Troubadour.
I had seen The Friendly Fires perform this week, opening for The Bloc Party - where in my opinion, was the best band in the nights line up. It seems going from a venue the size of the Mayan down to size of The Echo only gets The Friendly Fires to perform an even better show.
The lead singer Ed MacFarlane moves and resembles a young Mick Jagger, only...cuter. The crowd danced and moved to their energetic songs that will soon be huge. For those who love Datarock and Bloc Party...you must must check them out. My favorites are "On Board" and "Ex Lover".
