Ted Leo & The Pharmacists | Castle Clinton, NY | 7/17/08

Ted Leo and The Pharmacists played their annual free summer show last Thursday at Castle Clinton in NYC’s Battery Park. Fresh off a tour with Pearl Jam, Mr. Leo played a few new songs for the crowd, along with a passionate cover of The Misfits “Hybrid Moments.” I think he was happy to be back in front of his fans, especially after playing to about 100 people at Pearl Jam’s Madison Square Garden shows recently. Since Ted is playing a bunch of new tunes, I guess we can expect a full-length in that not too distant future.

River To River have a ton of great shows coming up so be sure to check out their website for more info.

Ted Leo & The Pharmacists, The Thermals, Birds of Avalon | McCarren Pool | 8/12/07

Despite the immense heat and the reported illness of a close family member, Ted Leo still looked and sounded like a million bucks at McCarren on Sunday. In between tracks from his new album, Living With The Living (Touch and Go) and older cuts, Mr. Leo bounced all over the stage and still cracked wise with the huge audience. Although the show took place in a giant swimming pool with thousands of fans, the group still played their bouncy, catchy-as-hell pop songs with a punk edge, as if they were in your neighbors garage with 20 people. The highlight of the show, you ask? Well it came when Ted started covering Daft Punk’s “One More Time” to the wild applause of the audience. Or maybe it was when the girl who was way too drunk came on stage and tried to get in between Ted’s legs to do god knows what. Or maybe it was the fact that The Pharmacists put on one hell of a live show that you are soon not going to forget. Yeah, that’s it.
