Fruit Bats

Recently went to a solid, fun rock show in Lawrence, Kansas. I had seen the Fruit Bats before and I do believe they rocked a lot harder this time. A little less folk, a little more straight-ahead rock, with just a pinch of the silly. Weirdly, the opener (who I guess the Fruit Bats front-man has played with before), Vetiver, played for a longer time than the Fruit Bats and I would describe them as lackluster. Fine, maybe even good, but a bit boring. Fruit Bats, however, were great. Not change-your-life great, but a-good-time-was-had-by-all great. Witness this video release from their new album:
