I was a little surprised yesterday with all the rain that the Levitt concert was NOT cancelled but to start at a later time. The opening act played until 8 and the headliner played to almost 10 PM. It has been my opinion that the concerts should ALL go from 7:30-10 PM on Friday and Saturday nights. As you can see from the pictures, this is what a night time outdoor concert should look like with stage lights. The sound was also cranked up towards the end. I can honestly say, this is the first time I stood in front of the stage and the music was loud. The band, The Foxies are a pop punk band that pulls influences from Green Day, The Cure, Blondie, No Doubt (the lead singer voice and dance moves remind you of Gwen Stefani) and you even hear the Clash, The Smiths and ‘X’ in their songs.
The only unfortunate part of the show was half of it was in the rain (I watched live stream until the rain ended and showed up in person) this also limited the crowd to about 30 people. But the performers treated this like any other show and rocked their asses off.
I have often said it is ‘the little things’ that can make the Levitt better;
• Start the shows at 7:30 PM on Friday and Saturdays
• Turn up the volume
• Allow people to bring their own beer and wine
• Ban pets
The city council has the power to make all 4 things above happen, if they just had the courage to do it (which they don’t).
“What?”… “Blondie was there?”… (“Damn, I missed out”… ) #DebbieHarryRocks!
