I saw Glass Candy a few times over the years, but I have to say that the best time was at some house in South Philly. The entire room was going nuts, guitars were broken, and the lineup featured Andy Coronado.
The first time I saw them was at Sound and Fury (which was a fantastic record store in the Lower East Side, it is much missed). Jimi Hey was their drummer at the time and was not allowed in the store because he had previously stolen some records and as a result was permanently banned. I found it amusing that despite the fact that Sound and Fury refused to relax their ban, the band chose to perform anyway. During the show Jimi was sitting outside, selling CDs and looking slightly dejected.
I like that they put a tour CD together just about every time they hit the road, it really gives people who go out to see them something cool to bring home from the show. I think more bands should do that.
Ladies and gentlemen, for your listening pleasure, Glass Candy & The Shattered Theatre.
