THE REVIEW
FRAMING HANLEY BRINGS A CERTAIN ENERGY TO THE STAGE THAT IS HARD TO
EXPLAIN. WE WERE PRIVILEGED WITH THE EXPERIENCE OF SEEING THEM OPEN FOR
FUEL AND TRAPT. LOOKING VERY YOUNG FRAMING HANLEY TAKES THE STAGE AS
THE CROWD CHEERS, NOT KNOWING WHAT TO EXPECT AS WITH THE CASE OF SO
MANY OPENING ACTS. I WAS PLEASANTLY SURPRISED AS NIXON THE LEAD SINGER
STARTED THE SET. HIS VOICE SOUNDING ANYTHING BUT YOUNG. YOU ALMOST HAD
A SENSE THAT THEY HAVE BEEN DOING THIS FOR YEARS WITH FLAWLESS LYRICS
AND ENERGETIC RIFFS OUT OF TIM AND BRIAN WHO PLAY GUITAR. FOR BEING A
NEWER GROUP OUT THERE THEY SURELY KNOW HOW TO SELL A PERFORMANCE.
LUKE AND THE BASS SEEM AS ONE UP ON THE STAGE AS CHRIS POUNDS ON THE
DRUMS WITH WHAT HE MAKES LOOK EASY. MANY OF THE SONGS ON THE SET
BRING THE CROWD IN TRYING TO LEARN AND KNOW THE LYRICS AS YOU SEE MANY
MUSIC FANS STARTING TO LIP SING ALONG ONLY A HANDFUL KNOWING THE WORDS.
THE FOURTH SONG INTO THERE SET THEY HAD ME WITH A SONG CALLED "BUILT
FOR SIN" WHICH IS A SLOWER SONG WITH UNFORGETTABLE LYRICS. THE KIND OF
SONG THIS IS YOU WILL RUN OUT AND BUY THE ALBUM JUST TO PLAY IT OVER AND
OVER AGAIN. NOW IT IS TIME FOR THE FANS TO HEAR A SONG THEY ALL KNOW AND
LOVE. "HEAR ME NOW" AS SOON AS THE SONG OPENS FANS KNOW IT. ("HEAR ME
NOW" IS FRAMING HANLEYS FIRST SINGLE OFF THERE DEBUT ALBUM "THE
MOMENT") THIS SONG CLOSES OUT THE SET AND FRAMING HANLEY CONQUERED
THE AUDIENCE, FANS THAT HAD NO IDEA WHO FRAMING HANLEY WAS BEFORE ARE
NOW ON BOARD. AFTER THE SET YOU CAN SEE THE GUYS HANGING AROUND
THERE MERCH BOOTH TAKING PICTURES AND SIGNING AUTOGRAPHS FOR
EVERYONE WHO CAME UP AND ASKED. OUR OPINION ON FRAMING HANLEY IS IF YOU
HEAR THEY ARE OPENING THEN WHAT EVER THE PRICE OF THE TICKET MAY BE IT IS
WORTH IT. THIS PARTICULAR SHOW TICKET PRICES WERE AROUND $12.00 FOR
FOUR BANDS THAT INCLUDED ENDEVERAFTER, FRAMING HANLEY, TRAPT, AND
FUEL. THE ONLY NEGATIVE THING ABOUT THIS SHOW WAS THE VENUE "THE
CHANCE" IN POUGHKIPSEE NY. IT SEEMED TO BE CROWDED AND VERY HOT
HOWEVER THEY DID ALLOW RE-ENTRY TO GET SOME AIR.
