The 21st was Justin’s 21st birthday, so to celebrate I bought us tickets to a Ted Leo & the Pharmacists concert showing in Hoboken, NJ last night. It was a concert unlike any of the others I had been to before mostly because their music and age appeals to a different crowd from other bands, say, Epik High and Sum 41. Instead of seeing mosh pits or knowing you could remain upright even if you lifted your feet off the ground because your body was being held up by the other bodies around you we saw young-old adults (maybe late 20′s to early 40′s?) swaying and bopping their heads to Ted Leo’s quick strums. There was nothing desperate, nothing raging or wild about it. It was nice. It was mellow.
Justin enjoyed it as far as I could tell. His face really lit up when the band started playing “Me and Mia.” He always used to play that song when he drove us around in his little Mazda Miata… Ah memories.
The one drawback of this concert was that Ted Leo was sick; his poor voice was so hoarse he could barely cough out the lyrics.
We left early before the crowd. I was satisfied. I think he was too.
