Barenaked Ladies, Violent Femmes and Colin Hay kicked off their Last Summer on Earth 2015 tour in Columbus on Friday night.
I wasn’t able to catch Colin Hay’s set but did manage to get to the LC for Violent Femmes.
Opening with ‘Blister in the Sun’ was basically an insta-win move for the American alt-rock band whose collection of sing-along hits made for a highly enjoyable set.
Barenaked Ladies also brought a enjoyable set of music that’s almost tailor made for an evening on the LC lawn, although a freak thunderstorm that came crashing through Columbus shortly after the Canadian’s set begun almost really did make this the “Last Summer on Earth”, especially for this photographer that attempted to bike home in it.
