The Details
Moxy Früvous appeared at the Iron Horse Music Hall once again, being
billed as "Canadian Harmonies and Hijinks". The show was scheduled to begin
at 10pm. The show actually started at 10:20pm with yEP!, who have been described
by Michele as a "barenaked phish matthews band, with slight overtones of 1970s rock".
Whew, quite a mouthful! :-)
The Frü-Four finally took the stage at 11:50pm. The venue was apparently extremely
warm and all four of our friends were sweating heavily. :)
