The Downtown Fiction/He Is We Show Review

From the moment that crowds started arriving at the venue, the April 23rd stop of the Let's Be Animals tour was sure to be something special. As both a homecoming for The Downtown Fiction as well as their CD release show, friends, family, as well as fans alike all came to probably the band's largest headlining show to date. Bringing along friends He Is We, Cady Groves, and Amely, The Downtown Fiction also brought along hoards of teenage girls, as they dominated the venue. However, powerful vocals, fuck yous, and fun dominated the night.

The Downtown Fiction Announces Let's Be Animals

I live in a hotbed for very solid pop-rock bands that failed on their first full length. The Friday Night Boys and The Bigger Lights all grew up about half an hour from me, and released excellent EPs before boring full lengths. I sure hope The Downtown Fiction has better luck with Let's Be Animals. The band's latest EP Best I Never Had had a fairly large hit with "I Just Wanna Run", a song that they are re-releasing on the album, and I hope that the band's newfound popularity doesn't go to their heads, and that they keep on making extremely catchy, yet still fairly mature pop-rock music. You can follow the band on Myspace here. The album is released on April 26th
