Wednesday I went with Matt, Joey and Kelly to see Franz and Death Cab and some band called the Cribs (I only heard a couple songs but wasn't a huge fan) in Portland. We enjoyed dinner at Rock Bottom (of course) and headed over in the Max which was actually my first ride. I know, I know, it's sad. I've lived here for two years and hadn't been on the Max.
Anyway, the concert was good. I really enjoyed Franz. It was the first time I'd seen them in concert. They are seriously the most catchy rock. Makes you just wanna jump up and dance! These two kids were down on the floor and this spot kept hitting them and they were dancing all over the place and they actually looked like they really knew what they were doing. They looked like they were maybe nine years old. It was cracking me up!
The weird thing was that they opened for Death Cab. Now I saw Death Cab at the Crystal Ballroom just a couple months ago and it was AWESOME! But I didn't enjoy it as much this time around. I think the band just didn't carry enough energy for that large of a room. It would have been better if Death Cab opened up for Franz and warmed us up. Instead the evening ended on a downer note and I was already pretty tired.
Don't get me wrong, Death Cab still rocks. I'll listen to them over and over on my CD player. But if I had a choice to see them in a smaller venue or a larger, I'd choose the smaller.
