A Coachella Alphabet: Fountains of Wayne
Name: Fountains of Wayne
Genre: Pop/Rock
Day: Saturday
Wikipedia sez: “Fountains of Wayne is an American power pop/rock band, formed in 1995. The band name was taken from the name of a lawn-ornament store in Wayne, New Jersey, called “Fountains of Wayne“, not far from Montclair, New Jersey, the hometown of the band’s bassist and cofounder Adam Schlesinger. Billboard reported that Fountains of Wayne are working on a new studio album. Traffic and Weather’s release is scheduled for April 3, 2007. Blender magazine named them one of the reasons to love 2007 because of the release of their latest album”
So you are probably thinking like me, Fountains of Wayne are still around? Sure they were catching for fifteen minutes with song for the MILF lovers’ Stacy’s Mom, but what else do they have to bring, and can they bring it at a festival? After listening to more of their music it’s clear that FoW have been focusing on less then catchy power pop tunes. Plus the lead singer looks really old, but I’m sounding like a bitch now. They are no Dressy Bessy, that’s for sure.
Likelyhood of Seeing at Coachella: No thanks.
