Video: The Feelies Sooner or Later

The Feelies tore it up earlier tonight at Johnny Brenda's with an electric show that featured several of their signature songs ("Away", "Sooner or Later", show closer "Fa-Ce-La") plus frenetic covers of "She Said She Said", "Paint It Black" and "Barstool Blues". Lotsa familiar faces there including Feeney, Fudgie, Turtle, Hook, Diane, DJ Mertter, Jamie, Steve K, Dan, Annie, Frank, Lisa and I'm assuming BagofSongs Tom and Hinchey. Go see them if you get the chance. The Feelies, not Bagofsongs and Hinchey.

Definitive college rock "band's band" the Feelies returned for a little reunion action last year, much to the joy of aging geeks everywhere (you know, people like us). If you missed 'em, they are returning for a boffo encore-to play their 1986 sophomore LP The Good Earth in its entirety at New York's All Tomorrow's Parties festival in September. They are joining Jesus Lizard, Flaming Lips, Melvins, Suicide and more for an event a jaded-but-still-sprightly codger like myself wouldn't miss for all the Aztec Camera LPs and Dave Kendall autographs in the world. Come on feel some Feelies:

I have been buried in Feelies for a day or so. This is from their last album . Pinch comes halfway through the first verse. Plus you can see such focus in their faces! Classic band with everything out of print, which further punishes a struggling nation . First album live Feelies vid below. The Feelies "Crazy Rhythms" (live 1979)
