The Faint 

The Faint is an American indie rock band. Formed in Omaha, Nebraska, the band consists of Todd Fink, Graham Ulicny, Dapose and Clark Baechle. The Faint was originally known as Norman Bailer and included Conor Oberst (of Bright Eyes, with whom the Faint toured in 2005). He quit shortly after the band was formed, though the Faint continued to share a spot with Bright Eyes on Saddle Creek Records.

The Faint Bring Unstoppable Passion And Force On Latest Tour

Monday’s show at the Bowery Ballroom was a much greater experience than I had expected. By greater I don’t just mean the music or performance, but the entire production, the audience, and the overall feeling of freedom and community that came with it. Walking in to the venue there was a definite air of excitement, and even well before any music was playing fans were mingling, browsing merch tables, and making connections through reminiscing about past tours and favorite songs. I went up to the balcony and was immediately pulled into a conversation with a woman who let me know that she had to sneak out to the show because this was her son’s favorite band but he was too young to attend. She knew he’d be devastated that she went without him so she was hoping to break it to him easy with some merch and a full video of his favorite song. 

As showtime approached people trickled up from the basement bar to the main floor and prepped for CLOSENESS (comprised of The Faint frontman Todd Fink and his wife Orenda Fink of Azure Ray) and Ritual Howl to take the stage. By the time they were done the main floor was packed and buzzing with excitement that made the final setup feel like an eternity. Finally, with fog machines at full blast, the four-man operation took the stage and dove into hit after hit, seamlessly blending old favorites with new material from their album, Egowerk, released in March of this year. The crowd pulsed and screamed lyrics back at the band with so much ferocity it was hard to tell who was entertaining who. The band tore through the set, their energy building and feeding off the crowds. In the past, bassist Michael “Dapose” Dappen has compared the audience to bees, “All trying to dance in their socially allowed spaces, vibrating into this wave of heat. The heat is what gives me this excited energy to play harder. Like when you’re in a sauna. You want to make it hotter and hotter and see how much you can handle.”

After playing a full set with hardly a pause, the group left the stage and a roaring crowd. A crowd which in fact did not top roaring or even lower the volume until the band returned. They launched into a triumphant rendition of Child Asleep and by the end of the encore I witnessed dancers of all types going crazy, moshers, and one punk hanging off the balcony to a dangerous level pumping his fist from the ceiling all the way down toward the crowd in exact unison with the beat. Clearly they’d done well. 

Given the electronic nature of the music there’s a clear difference in their sound when its live. This isn’t a band that’d going to get on stage and give you an exact copy of their CD. This is live music. There are imperfections, there isn’t the smooth and perfectly hypertuned sound of the album, but there is passion and charisma in the performance that will leave you floored. After the show the long time fans all nodded in agreement; “different but amazing” was the vibe as friends hugged and said their goodbyes for the night. No one can argue, this is a band and a concert that delivers. Despite their serious messages and critical opinions on the world, in concert The Faint gives you a chance to escape all that. They let you dance, scream, and experience euphoria in unison with 100 other people, even if it’s just for an hour.

Don’t miss your chance to see them on tour now

#nowspinning #thefaint #egowerk #saddlecreekrecords #redvinyl #limitededition #vinyl #vinyligclub #newrelease This record is 🔥🔥🔥and I can't wait to see them live on their upcoming tour. "Yes it's awful, true Do we mean the things we do? It's all repeating And we forget We go and burn it down again Are we children of men? What are we willing to let happen? The past was brutal But who's to blame? We go and burn it down again Quench the flame Are we honest enough? What's the point of breaking up? Just to restart the game The game that no one admits we play Quench the flame I teach you how to treat me I teach you how much to care I teach you how to treat me I push you away..."
