Still Dandy?
by XliontamR on 4/15/16Bowery Ballroom - New YorkThis was my second time seeing the Dandy's at the Bowery Ballroom. The first time was about 14 years ago, this time my 21 and 23 year old children went with me. Time flies, times change....Well, the Dandy's really haven't changed much have they. My opinion of them hasn't changed much across the 14 year span. They're OK, live. Prone to selecting their droning, strummed type songs with one foot in the druggy sixties and the other foot less firmly planted in the 90's, they could have picked a better set list. The songs they pick all start sounding the same. Also, the more popular songs they played, THEY DON'T PLAY RIGHT. Look, there is a trumpet part in the song Godless, it's not that hard to use a sample instead of singing the part which just seems cheap and uncaring. Same thing with We Used to be Friends. USE THE RIGHT KEYBOARD SOUND. It's not that hard. Don't make the audience feel like your going through the motions. I gave them 4 stars out of loyalty.
