The Faint just doesn't know how to dissapoint. I've seen them 5 times now, and they are still as amazing as always. Their latest effort, Wet From Birth, doesn't stray too far from the neo synth dance pop that was so infectious on Danse Macabre. Live, these Omaha boys explode from the first down beat, pulsing, dancing, jerking, and swaying all over the stage. I would say that's probably one of the things that keeps me coming back for more - there just aren't that many bands that MOVE as well as these guys do. Favorite songs of the night: Paranoia, Retro Career Melted, Agenda Suicide, and Drop Kick Punks.

Their multimedia projected behind the band was stunning in complexity and syncopation. I tried to deconstruct how they were controlling the cue for each song but it made my brain hurt unnecessary. And the fact that Flash was used to animate the snake and arm in the video work for Phone Call was pretty ingenious too. If they come to your neck of the woods, pay $15 and go get yer danse on!
