Seeing Phantogram at the Vic on the north side of Chicago tonight. We're watching the opening act, Future Islands, as I write this and I honestly can say this is the fucking weirdest band I've ever heard. They are straight synth pop, but the vocalist is doing a combination of a Fat Albert impersonation and death metal growls. All while dancing around the stage like he's in a ska band. I seriously can't tell if this whole act is a joke or not, but Allison and I are laughing our asses off at how bad this is.
