...about last night's concert- the Fox and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. It was our first time at the Fox, a newly renovated downtown Oakland spot on Telegraph. Super retro/deco feel, and it's huge. Lots of people there rockin out but it didn't feel too crowded or hot (baby approves). Easy to get drinks from multiple bars (daddy approves). Good sound and sightlines from the floor.
And having Karen O on stage makes any venue better. Peep this video for their newest cut (thx Jay). She had the crowd rockin with her crazy powerful, frenetic voice. Very energetic show and I would defintely see them again... maybe tonight?
One thing that bugged me though, about all the bands, was that they couldn't say "Thank you Oakland" without also adding "San Francisco." I'd be surprised if more than 5% of the crowd came over from SF on a Wednesday night. You don't hear bands at the Fillmore saying "Thank you San Francisco, Daly City." The Fox is better than most venues in SF that I've been to. East Bay inferiority complex? Maybe.
