Next to Bedlam-era Mars Volta, Fair to Midland is the best live band I have ever seen. Even if they are not to most progressive band, I would suggest them to anyone. Their two major label LPs (Fables from a Mayfly and Arrows & Anchors) are both excellent. Anyway, I am very happy to see a date right by me. If FTM are coming to a town near you, please consider going to their show. |

I second that Willow Farmer! I got to see Fair to Midland a month ago with Filter and The Virgin Wolves. Best 15 dollars I've spent on concert in years. I would pay more any day to see any of the three bands all by their lonesome minus the other two. The band order was Virgin Wolves, Fair to Midland, and finally Filter. The crowd was way into FtM. The crowd was there to see Fair to Midland. Over half the folks absquatulated after Fair to Midland vacated the stage. There were tears shed. It was the bass players last gig with FtM. Back to Fair to Midlan in a minute. The other bands on the bill deserve mention... About 100 stayed to watch Filter Rock the place. Two nights prior Filter had played in front of thousands at Buzzfest with Straind, P.O.D. Bush, Chevelle , Everlast and several other big hitters. After the mind blowing Fair to Midland set I thought, "Filter has got their work cut out for them." I lowered my expectations. I mentally forgave them, before the they took the stage for playing an uninspired 35 minute set. Filter played their hearts out! The encore was 25 minutes of care free ( I can't believe this is my job) intense rock. Filter embraced the challange of playing a small venue. Lead singer Richard Patrick took song requests, sing-screaming "I'm Not the Only One," while we carried him round. And the crowd ate it up. Nobody ate it up like Richard Patrick ate it up, jumping over the bar, poured a Patrone double shot , bit a lime in half , slugged it down, cracked wise, joking ," Quick someone sing the 2nd verse. I think I forgot it. Oh he knows.....Nooooo That's the third verse! He even danced with me and my girlfriend simutaneously belting out "The Best Things." Virgin Wolves had a twin guitar attack, drums, a beautiful bass player (married to the drummer) , finally the sexy unpredictable Jaimeson Robbins, lead vocalist( married to guitarist Chase Robbins) . This band could go places. They had groovy riffs and catchy melodies. But the Virgin Wolve's main attraction is and always will be Jaimeson, absolutely amazing to watch. I couldn't take my eyes off her. Was it her voice or sex appeal? No, it was the way she moved. Like a virgin, and for the very first time. I got to see a women move with all the spontaneity and insane energy of Mike Patton circa 1991 (think Epic). Nice? Yes. I like it. I like it alot! This was definitely going to be a night for chrismatic, hedonist lead singers... 3 of 'em back to back. But I digress. What are critics and important fans saying about Fair to Midland? Nominated for Best in Metal for four consecutive years in a row! Dallas Observer Filter and Virgin Wolves live show shows crowd in comparison to "Fair to Midland" they are, well...About fair to midland... Fort Worthless Startle Gram F*t*M cracks skulls with numbchuck Chuck Norris guitar karate... Guitarzan Magazine "Fair to Midland" going to be more than three chords and a pint of guiness.... Mike Portnoy Rolling Rock Magazine Prog power keg! ..... dynamite new album!..... But will it play in Peoria? Jay Leno Eco Magazine's Hugh Manatea has nothing but praise for classic prog rock classic Dance of the Manatee. "Oh the humanity of this Fair to Midland metal classic echoes the sentiment of classic boat enthusists everywhere." Hugh Manatea, a huge manatee fan explains, " Until the manatee learns to get along with humans as the song Dance of the Manatee illuminates in way only death prog can, Humanity has no other choice but to declare all out war against a huge manatee population. Prog Metal Band..."Fair to Midland.." ... Ignites Mosh Pit in 13/8 Time Prog Archives Meet Sulphur Spring's Heavy Metal Magic Man Progasaursus Digest ( Sulphur Springs oldest Prog Rock Magazine!) Leave it to a prog rock band to incite the lone mosh pit of the night. Seconds after Fair to Midland stormed the stage armed with adrenaline fueled guitars sending heads bobbing like sea of chevy pistons pumping in sinc to jackhamer bass riffs. And that the band looked like in those first few minutes. Threes song into the onslaught the crowd picked their lower jaws up and surged for with all the violence of auto wreck whiplash. And through it all I could hear bitter sweet vocasl wailing accompanied and sometimes unacompanied with harsh haromony rising and falling like a mythic siren in a hail and tornado strom. Suddenly FtM shifted down the chiropatric, wet dream, Dali, nightmare then up though gears I didn't know existed...prehistoric progasoar shredding metal. I thought the center cannot hold so I slinked to amature section on the outskirts of the surging mosh pit. Lucky for those of us past our prime mosh years all three bands attract females. And so the powerful estrogen mopped up just enough testosterone to keep us from slipping and sliding on the damn stuf., Thus we avoided serious injury. Just a ton of serious fun. ( lightyears beyond 91's powerpop disaster "Serious Fun", even diehard Knack fans avoid) Fair to Midland leadsinger Andrew Darroh Sudderth doesn't look or sound like he avoids anything dangerous. Spiderman is the only human I can think of, whom risks injury to life and limb the way Mr. Sudderth does in show after show. Sudderth has a better voice than spiderman and infiniteily more vocal range. Spiderman although, has a slight edge when it comes to scaling skyscrapers and vertical leaps. Watch Andrew Darroh Sudderth Prog Metal Daredevel leaps more that 20 feet to the stage, as he sings and lives every exciting prog metal moment as it were his last. If you get a chance to see this band, and you dig prog metal....Do it Don't take my word for it. Ask your friendly neighborhood "Willow Farmer." He saw it and heard it too!

Nice To hear from another FTM fan. Thats really cool that you were at Jon's last show. Did you hear that Brett (drums) left too? They are touring in December, but with temps.
Anyway, I'll have to check out The Virgin Wolves; never heard of them before. Can you suggest some tracks?
