Fontaines D.C.

Fontaines D.C. are riding the high from their brilliant album, Romance. Their show at The Factory in Deep Ellum was excellent from start to finish. Though they cut two songs from prior setlists, it was still a relatively lengthy 14-song set followed by a 4-song encore. The wait between the closing song of the main set and the start of the encore seemed overly long, but very few of the audience members bailed out. The crowd was definitely into the band. Fontaines D.C. are in the middle of a grueling stretch of US tour dates, and it may be starting to take its toll. However, the band rose to occasion, and put on a memorable performance. The lighting effects were really good. The sound could have been a bit louder for the larger space.
