Review of Snow Patrol in KC
The Kansas City Star’s Tim Finn reviews last night’s gig by Snow Patrol in Kansas City.
The Irish/British band of the big ballad get the thumbs up for the most part:
Its music is all about size, melody and guitar textures. They write songs built for arenas and suitable for stadiums — songs with titanium hooks and supernal choruses, with big waves and skyscraping crescendos. In theaters like the Uptown, those anthems are even more epic and anthemic. But they’d be just another U.K./Brit-rock band if it weren’t for Gary Lightbody, an Irishman with an sharp wit and dry sense of humility.
