I hadn't heard of them at all until I went to a Feelies concert back in March or April at the 9:30 club. Spoon opened for them; they were pretty interesting and I thought it was funny when they used random items for their solos, but they got nothing on the Feelies. There was a party there after the concert and the Feelies were supposed to be off by 10:30, but every single person there refused to leave until after the second encore. Those of us that stayed were really lucky; they ended up coming back four times, and the whole concert they were playing their good ole' songs but with some really awesome improv solos. It was one of the best concerts I've ever been too; me and my friend were by far the youngest people there but damn everyone was so into it. Go see the Feelies live if you like them at all, they're like ten times better live than on their albums (no easy feat by any means).
