Infinity On High - Fall Out Boy |
 |
"Times are good for the
Los Angeles-based quartet who debuted at number one in the album charts
in New Zealand mid febuary. And because of popular demand, their first
show here, on March 5, has been moved to a bigger venue. |

|
|
| If anything,
their increasingly classic take will be more inviting for those other
than the kids, and ensure that the venue will be jammed and jumping." -

Patrick Stump's rich, versatile voice perfectly fits the band's shift
from power-punk one minute to nu-metal the next, along with dollops of
soul, gospel and balladry.
Everything comes together on the hit single "This Ain't a Scene, It's an
Arms Race" one of the wittiest, catchiest and funkiest slices of
frenetic American power-pop in ages, further enhanced by a great music
video." - TOM CARDY
Fall Out Boy is a pop
punk band from Wilmette, Illinois (a suburb of Chicago, Illinois) that
formed in 2001. The band consists of Patrick Stump (lead vocals,
guitar), Pete Wentz (bass, backup vocalist, and primary lyricist), Joe
Trohman (lead guitar), and Andy Hurley (drums).
"The title is taken from a letter written by van Gogh to his brother
Theo in 1888, in which he describes his renewed health and the vigor it
has instilled in his painting. Van Gogh's exact phrasing has been
translated as both "Be clearly aware of the stars and infinity on high.
Then life seems almost enchanted after all," and "And all the same to
feel the stars and the infinite high and clear above you. Then life is
almost enchanted after all." -
