THE GRAND BALLROOM, SAN FRANCISCO The Faint

Tuesday, August 5, 2008

This wasn’t just any show for the Omaha dance punks:
Their new album, Fasciinatiion, dropped the same day. “Four
years passed since our last record,” says guitarist Joel Petersen.
“We definitely felt that night was the culmination of all our
work.” Does that somehow explain singer Todd Fink’s, um,
scientific sense of style? “I don’t know, man,” chuckles Petersen.
“Todd does what he has to do to get himself ready.”
