Thisisthelast….Polyphonic Spree Concert Review
July 23rd, 2007 . by Jilly
Friday night we saw Polyphonic Spree play at Canes in San Diego. They put on an energetic set with confetti shooting out over the audience. I was amazed by them, all of them. Tim DeLaughter is an engaging and energetic frontman. His enthusiasm is contagious. They played mostly from “Fragile Army“. They encored in the white robes and played mostly from “Together We’re Heavy“. They even performed their cover of Nirvana’s “Lithium” which was SO good.
YANP did a really interesting interview with Tim DeLaughter here.
M: Writing about such uplifting stuff as you do, do people expect you to be Mr. Sunshine all day?
T: Yeah, they do. It’s a big misconception and that’s what sucks about it. They kind of got the wrong impression of our group from the beginning. And it was nothing that we put out, it was just people’s interpretation of our music: “they’re just a happy band.� And not that happiness isn’t good, but it’s just a bit shallow to think that twenty four people are happy all the time. We’re all people with the same dynamics that everyone has in their emotional pattern.
