I ventured out into the wild to check out the Future Islands / Modest Mouse show at Diamond Ballroom last night, so this week's news round-up will be a bit quicker than usual.
Overall, it was a pretty good show. Although I fit in a little too well with the crowd – if you were a pot-bellied guy in your 40s with a beard, shaved head and glasses, it was the place to be in OKC – it was good to get out and enjoy live music and risk getting a Covid breakthrough infection in the process.
I've been a Future Islands fan since 2011 when I came across their track "Inch Of Dust" during a pool love scene in Shameless, which as a certified indie music snob who had a specialty show on The Spy before it was cool, is something I like to point out to people who didn't become fans until David Letterman went nuts for the band in 2014.
