Teenage Fanclub at The Biltmore - Photos for Guttersnipe

I’m not usually one for reading the comments posted below Youtube videos, but there’s a good one beneath the video for “The Concept”, the final single from Teenage Fanclub’s heralded 1991 album, Bandwagonesque: “The fucking memories. Force your children to like them.” A most fitting comment. But, owing to Teenage Fanclub’s odd position in pop music, one that can only be truly appreciated upon seeing them live. Their 21 years of critically acclaimed jangle pop have earned them a very fervent following, but, at least in this part of the world, they still play intimate venues. For their Vancouver tour stop, this meant the Biltmore Cabaret, where the crowd was dense, zealous, and kind of old – “dense” in that the place was absolutely jammed; “zealous” in that each song intro was greeted louder than the last; and “kind of old” in that, on average, the crowd was, well, kind of old. At least in comparison to the mid-pubescent Glory Days crowd that waited outside.
