Music: FOUNTAINS OF WAYNE
Sellersville Theater, Sellersville PA, 7/3/2009
Every time I see FoW live, I fall in love with them just a little bit more, if that’s even possible.
Nice acoustic set from Fountains of Wayne (which includes blond, bespectacled hometown boy Chris Collingwood) in a small setting (200 seats). Lots of fan favorites (Radiation Vibe, Red Dragon Tattoo, Bright Future in Sales, Joe Rey, Hey Julie, Someone to Love, Hackensack, etc.), three works in progress, and much misuse of the the word “hoagie”. (Um, you had to be there.)
Opening was Mike Viola, who collaborated with Adam Schlesinger on songs for the movie That Thing You Do!, and provided lead vocals for the title track. He was accompanied by the very sweet Kelly Jones on a few songs as well. In all, a nice night, even if the strange suburban crowd freaked me out at times with their normalcy.
