Friendly Fires + The Naked and Famous + Cults - Live at SummerStage in Central Park
On record, Friendly Fires are a kinetic blend of dance rhythms, massive washes of synthesizers and guitars and the blue-eyed soul yelps of frontman Ed Macfarlane. Live, however, they’re even better, a frenzy of motion from which the noise escapes.

Lykke Li + Friendly Fires
Live, Lykke Li is a show of force, and during an hour of mesmerizing, artfully arranged originals and a few covers, she confirmed there's plenty of teeth behind her tweeness -- and piquancy, too.
