FNX BEST MUSIC POLL
THE KILLERS, INTERPOL, LOUIS XIV, ROBBERS ON HIGH STREET
It was a warm evening in early June, and as the sun finished its cycle and set, the energy of the concert went up with each
band's set. Every band present from opening act Robbers On High Street to headliner The Killers put on a solid performance.
The crisp clean sound of Robbers on High Street, the intense solos and rythmic guitar of Louis XIV, the energetic Interpol,
and fan favorites The Killers, all made for a great night on the edge of Boston Harbor, at the Bank of America Pavillion.
The Killers played a fast paced set that seemed to end too quickly. That is a good problem to have at a concert however,
where a band is just so good that they leave you wanting more at its conclusion, which is exactly what happened when the band
left the stage. The band used bantering to introduce some of their songs, which was a nice touch, and was sometimes a tease
as to what the had to offer next. They did not, however, tease at the end of their set. When they were finished, they were
done. They did not come back out for an encore, which has become almost a modern day tradition with rock music. They may
have also played their songs in an inappropriate order, with all of their well known songs played with more songs remaining
in the set. The Killers also tried out a new song, which went over really well and seems to have the same hit potential,
as Somebody Told Me, and Mr. Brightside. All in all, the performance was great, although they may need work on the order
of songs when compiling a set list. Next time you get the chance though, check them out, always a great time.
