Ted Leo and the Pharmacists @ The Galaxy

I’m still not a big fan after seeing Ted Leo and the Pharmacists perform live. The good is that he sounds exactly like he does on his albums, just not my cup of tea. A little too…hard, I guess would be the word. I need my mellow stuff. He did a great set though and had a lot of fun with the audience.

Opening Band USE was fun and their music was very dancy, but the electronic-synthesizer voice got boring after being used in every song. Let’s not discuss The Joggers that played after them; Somebody forgot to tell them that good singing is a requirement for being a band.

The Galaxy is a cozy little venue. We arrived early and snagged a booth so we wouldn’t have to stand during the whole show. The food sucks though, and don’t listen to what they say about a two drink minimum or the $10 food per person - they didn’t bother to check. I’m hoping that more good bands play there in the future.
