Last month, Free Energy performed at NYC’s Bowery Ballroom.

MP3: Free Energy – Free Energy

Britt Lundborg attended Saturday night’s gig and offers an extensive report! “You’re makin’ love to the past…” Free Energy’s frontman, Paul Sprangers, crooned to the audience of Bowery Ballroom last Saturday night. I couldn’t help but think, “Hmm, pot, kettle, black”? The Philadelphia quintet proudly sex the 70s like Kama Sutra masters. Their riffs and sing-along choruses so blatantly reference classic rock they could be dropped right into radio rotation between Thin Lizzy and T Rex. Except these guys look like they use a fake ID to pick up a sixer. But! A band so baby-faced could only pull such a deliberate nostalgia stunt if the talent was present. Scott Wells, lead guitarist, squeals and slides through riff after riff, blowing sunshine open wide. As he plays, a pheasant feather stuck in his guitar’s strings flitters and dances, like a flag screaming, “Attention: HERE”. Dude, you’ve got my attention purely from the magic you’re able to pull from your guitar. Model-skinny lead-singer Sprangers lithely jumps around the stage, like a goofier Jagger. Even if my authenticity alarm was going off, Free Energy won me over. But what do I matter – bullshit sensitive Pitchfork deemed “Dream City”, a track off their James Murphy-produced Stuck On Nothing, Best New Track and gave the album an 8.1. One can’t but help wonder if the ‘Fork’s love of the LCD frontman had anything to do with giving these Philly boys a nicely warmed hand-job. I do have to admit that there’s something about listening to yesteryear’s music live and not have it be played by men who have a host of grandchildren. Rock does belong to the young.
