The Rapture
The Fillmore, San Francisco, CA
March 15, 2004

After the earlier Yeah Yeah Yeahs show at the Metreon, we headed across town to the Fillmore. Earlier in the week, we'd gotten tickets through our friend Greg for the Wired Rave Awards, featuring a set by The Rapture. We whiled away a few minutes in the Boom Boom Room with Noel, Nate, and co. until the venue began letting in people with non-V.I.P. tickets. Inside we immediately ran into Danny and Wired employee Donald, and had a few drinks until the band took the stage. Veronica had seen them once before and not been too impressed, but we both thought they rocked this time. Their second song was a cover of "Dumb Waiters" by the Psychedelic Furs ... i'm unsure if this is a regular Rapture occurence, or if it was a mini-tribute considering the Furs were playing Slim's in SF that night. Veronica suggested trying to hit that show afterwards, but we decided to head home to Cobi. One night, two shows, both free ... not bad, eh?
