London based indie/alternative band, Fanfarlo, returned to the
states this Spring, giving their American fans the chance to hear songs off of
their recently released 3rd studio album, Let’s Go Extinct, live!
A friendly crowd gathered at the quaint Great American MusicHall on March 26th and just before 10:00pm, the delightful, concept
pop act took the stage. A cheery kinship between the members of the 5 piece
band immediately prevailed, inviting likewise fans to share in the sense of affinity.

Effervescent performances from drummer Valentina Magaletti and multi-instrumentalist Cathy Lucas encouraged lead vocalist Justin Finch to let his reserved guard down. His seemingly appropriate, timid exchanges about their (current) American tour saw the reserved audience become more comfortable, as even more people began head bobbing and singing along to each song.

Categorized in the indie genre, which comes in so many different forms now-a-days, Fanfarlo encompasses the entire indie range. Their use of trumpet, glockenspiel, melodica, mandolin, saxophone, clarinet, bongos and even a little bit of musical saw effortlessly transcended their array of sounds thoughout the show. From quintessential guitar filled indie-rock, to catchy indie-pop, to existential island riffs, to a sweet blend of shoegazing bright synths and creative effects, Fanfarlo delivers an impressive show with a humble confidence. After the set, which of course consisted mostly of new songs, Fanfarlo returned to reward their fans' thunderous stomping with a well warranted en core.
Fanfarlo continues to tour the US in support of Let's Go Extinct until the end of the month!
