Concert Review: Hozier, Cold War Kids, Brandon Flowers - Tempe Beach Park - 9 ... - Phoenix New Times
Monday, October 12, 2015Cold War Kids worked toward the end of the set, evoking their inner Cramps for "Drive Desperate," then delivering the finishing trio of "Hospital Beds," "Something Is Not Right With Me," and "Saint John." EXPANDCold War KidsMelina DellamarggioBrandon Flowers was up next. I've seen the Killers a few times and knew they never give a bad show, so I expected the same from their lead singer on a solo run. However, I wondered if he would play any Killers songs or just stick to his two solo albums. I didn't have to wait long for an answer. Flowers opened the set with The Killers' hit "Human," to which many audience members responded that "we are dancer." One thing that must be said, in addition to Flowers being a fantastic vocalist and musician, he's also a hell of a performer and probably the most engaging one of the evening. In an hour he threw the best of Flamingo (2010) and The Desired Effect from this year at the crowd with a few Killers hits, and everyone loved it. He kicked it out with his most recent Top 40 hit "Can't Deny My Love" and followed quickly with his first solo hit "Crossfire." He told the story of the Mexican pilgrimage that inspired him to write the song "Magdalena" but didn't get to far into it before he saw a woman collapse in the audience. He stopped the song immediately and did not resume until he was sure that she was all right, which in my book is a total class act. They started again at the bridge and finished the song properly."Jilter Lovers & Broken Hearts" was up next, and it too was a stunner. It seems that his solo work translates better as a live performance, more than it does on record. He kicked up the electronica a notch with "Lonely Town" and it was apparent that he was going all out with amazing backup singers, horns and a full band—it was impressive. My favorite song from The Desired Effect has to be "Diggin' Up The Heart," and it was just as true for his show. He warned the audience ahead of time, "Don't pass out during the next song." After some amusing banter in which he asked the audience to pick one of three covers, the audience clearly responded to "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy" by Rod Stewart, to which he immediately launched into "Read My Mind" by The Killers. "Still Want You" was a highlight if for no other reason than that he got the entire audience singing along with him. He gave the audience on last solo song in the form of "Only The Young" before laying out the coolest arrangement of "Mr. Brightside" I've ever heard.It was finally time for the headliner — the poster child for the man bun himself, Hozier. I have to admit, I've been kind of on the fence about Hozier. I've given his album a few spins and I enjoy it, but I know a lot of people obsessed with it and that often turns me off from really digging in. I have to say that his live performance tipped the scale in his favor in a big way. While the album is great, live there is this fantastic mix and the backup singers are more prominent. The entire sound coalesces, and this occurred right from the start with "Like Real People Do." From there, honestly, his set never let up and he immediately launched into my favorite song of his, "Angel of Small Death and The Codeine Scene." It was the bass that stood out on "From Eden" and it occurred to me that he pretty much had time to play the entire album and with the ex... http://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/music/concert-review-hozier-cold-war-kids-brandon-flowers-tempe-beach-park-9-24-2015-7690597
Marrazzo's Florist To Move If LMT Development Approved: Report - Patch.com
Sunday, February 09, 2020LOWER MAKEFIELD TOWNSHIP, PA — Marrazzo's Manor Lane florists, a fixture in Lower Makefield, will move, but stay open, if a new residential development at its current site is approved. The Intelligencer reports that developer Cedar Crossing Investors is seeking variances to build 11 homes on about three acres of land at Marrazzo's current location, at Yardley-Morrisville and Pine Grove roads. The paper writes that the two-story townhouses would be about 2,800-2,900 square feet, with four bedrooms, according to plans filed with Lower Makefield Township. The development would be at the site of the third-generation Marrazzo's, which was established in 1947 in the Manor Lane section of Morrisville. It moved to its current location, the site of an existing nursery, in 1984, according to the paper. Mike Marrazzo told The Intelligencer that there's a deal in place to sell the land. If Lower Makefield approves the development, the family business will relocate nearby, he said. "Once we know where this is going, then we're going to try to look fo... https://patch.com/pennsylvania/yardley/marrazos-florist-move-if-lmt-development-approved-report
