Facing The Valley (Part II: New York)

Part two of my adventures at the Facing New York/Valley Arena Show (Part I).

Next up was The Outline. I am not a huge fan of the band; they definitely were the week link on the bill although any other night they may have stood out, just not on this line up. They are a solid band with some great pop rock songs.

Finally the last band was set to play. Facing New York.


Facing New York is another band I have helped in Phoenix in the past and have been pleased to watch grown. This group is PHENOMENAL on stage. The intensity is almost unmatchable. Watching them you remember that this is a craft and an art that few have mastered, and they have. They play beautiful jazz influenced indie rock with a passion that has always been rare, but is rare still today. FNY are a band that have to be seen live. The songs are great, but how they play them is what makes it.

At the show last night they killed it. They were on stage for one reason, to play.

I need to go to more shows like the one last night. Scratch that, there need to be more shows like the one last night.
