We’ll probably never know, but for the 100+ hot and sweaty bodies moving non-stop to Ted Leo and the Pharmacists the other night, it was a superfluous question. Ted won the prize for most sweat flung and dripped, but not because those of us in the audience weren’t moving constantly. The band’s high energy set rocked non-stop until there was just about no air left inside Gallery 5. The punk veteran did return for an a cappella encore that grabbed and held the crowd. At Ted’s suggestion, the show was then adjourned so we could all go outside and cool off. Gallery 5 provided a classic garage setting for Ted Leo to strut his punk in Richmond. Thanks Prabir!
