Lo-Fi-Fnk
Live at Galapagos, Brooklyn NY, 11/01/06

I had no idea I was attending this show until I walked up to the venue and saw the sign. I turned to my friend and said "Huh, no shit, we cover them at IAT!" and then I became even more interested in the music at the show. Unfamiliar with LFF other than seeing their name in the news posts courtesy of Avi, I had no idea what to expect. The band took the stage (a three piece live) and I assumed their collected age was 15, and laughed when one member was walking around the stage with a beer. The band played a fun set of dance-pop numbers that really got the crowd moving after they had been unresponsive to the DJ playing between sets. Everyone was enjoying the set thoroughly, and isn't that what live music is all about, just going out and having a great time? That's exactly what this was. And what was more humourous were the twenty-and-thirty-somethings dancing to the music made by musicians that looked half their age.

Stylus reviews the new album from Lo-Fi-Fnk: http://www.stylusmagazine.com/reviews/lo-fi-fnk/boylife.htm
I agree with Simon's review that the album is definitely a bit front-loaded, but it's still quite good and well worth listening to if you're into that electropop stuff.
