Super Furry Animals @ South Street Seaport

Tonight was the kick off of the River to River concert series–and there was a crazy insane rain storm, which prevented me from heading to the Super Furry Animals show on time. But they did in fact play 3 songs before covering up all their gear. Lead singer Gruff Rhys came out again and played 4 acoustic versions of songs in that little area between the stage and the crowd as his posse held up umbrellas over him.

The guy I lent my umbrella holding services exclaimed, “that was awesome. Totally worth driving 7 hours for.” Woah! That’s dedication.

I didn’t take any photos because of the aforementioned crazy rain, but I did manage to snap some pics of my buddies under the overpass.

Doug of The Go Station (who are NOT playing as “Druzzi’s Wyld Stalyns” on June 11th at Crash Mansion…that would be The Rapture).

Oh and then a homeless guy got mad I was taking photos of everyone BUT him so he made me take this photo:

    [...] If you don’t know who Teddy Geiger is, he’s the kid who sings “For You I Will (Confidence)”–you know, the song with the video with Laguna Beach’s Kristen Cavalleri…and the song Ben calls “The Mustard Song”. Oh and he’s also the guy the girls on Miss Seventeen gave a makeover to. What? I’m also the only one who watched that show as well? Darn it. [...]
