polyphonic spree = one trick pony
Thing is, I also would love to see Polyphonic Spree tomorrow night. I saw them at the club like 10 years ago and it was so joyful and awesome. Can't do both though. WHICH ONE?
I think it's too bad that they get the tag of being a novelty or a gimmick because last night's show was great, just a cacophony of sound. Violins, trumpets, trombones, harps, piano, guitars, four stunningly gorgeous back-up singers, it was amazing how good it all sounded. I can see where the "UP WITH PEOPLE" vibe can grate after awhile, but I've always been impressed by how much they're an actual band with good songs.
