The Buzzcocks – The Fillmore at Irving Plaza, NYC
Date: May 13th, 2010
Band Link: www.buzzcocks.com
Talk about a show bombing! Last night, the Buzzcocks took a page from Echo & The Bunnymen and the Pixies and played through a complete album – namely, their first two – “Another Music in a Different Kitchen” and “Love Bites.” Overall, it wasn’t very successful. While I dig their first two albums and their smart, cynical, middle-finger take on punk itself (“Fast Cars” is about how they hate them – take that, Dictators!), I have to admit they contain weak tunes and ones that don’t translate well to the stage. I appreciate the idea of bands playing complete albums, but it does force unfortunate setlist choices, like “Love Is Lies” and “Late for the Train” over “I Believe,” “Everybody’s Happy Nowadays,” and “Why Can’t I Touch It?” Travesties.
