I'm going to see Fair To Midland at Stubb's outdoor stage tonight (after dinner at East Side Cafe, yummm).
FTM, who I've written about several times before, play on my love for creative singers with a wide vocal range, interesting instrumentation, art-rawk and general over-the-top-ness. (See: Tool, Mars Volta, Faith No More.)
Watch the video for "Dance of the Manatee"*:
System of a Down fans (Laurie, I'm looking at you) will be interested to know that FTM are signed to Serj's label, the creatively titled Serjical Strike via Universal Republic.
* That growly nonsense he does before the bridge? He doesn't do much more of that on the rest of the record.
