The Soft Pack // Franky’s Barber Boutique – 1/30/10

Flyer

I just got back from The Soft Pack’s 2nd gig of the day at Franky’s Barber Boutique in Silverlake. The guys scorched through five songs in about 15 minutes. Their new tracks “C’mon” and “Answer To Yourself” were the strongest songs of the set. They are performing 8 more shows today; if you are in the area I highly recommend catching one of their gigs. For the full schedule (click here).
