Micah Weisberg attended last night’s gig and provides the following review. Aside from a minor “lump in his throat,” according to singer Barry Hyde, the Futureheads were in top form for their first ever Brooklyn show late Tuesday night. During a taut hour-long set, the band rifled through the hits as well as several choice cuts off their new album, The Chaos, released earlier that day. The crowd was quite receptive, bobbing along to newbies “Heartbeat Song” and the title track before the full-on celebration of “Meantime”, “Decent Days & Nights” and “Beginning Of The Twist.” During “Skip To The End”, Hyde encouraged everyone to do the “bouncy bounce” and thus had the room wrapped around his finger in time for the sublime chants of “Hounds Of Love.” Not bad for a band believed by many to have faded away after a poor-selling sophomore album. Judging by last night’s energetic crowd, the Futureheads are back where they want to be, kicking and clawing their way through a sweaty punk show like their lives depended on it. Until next time!
