I think the new Rooney is great, great fun, but I've already sold my copy of the The Click Five. They fired their lead singer, and the new album strays from the classy bubblegum of the 1st into Duran Duran territory.

But tonight's gig was like a school disco... Apart from me and the Mrs. the only over-30s were the parents of the children (I kid you not...there were at least 10 parents present, stood at the back or just outside the main room, keeping half an eye on their kids).
This sounds *exactly* like my experience when I saw The Click Five at the Recher Theater in Baltimore last year. It was really good fun, and they sounded great, but it was definitely a strange setting.
By the way, do either of these bands have a 2nd album? If so, are they as good as their debuts? (assuming you thought they were good)
Be seeing you,
Bill
