This past Wednesday, the L.A.-based band Foxygen chose to open with “We Are the 21st Century Ambassadors of Peace and Magic,” a track off their 2013 full-length release of the same name. From the very first note and the very first emphatic fist pump, I had a feeling frontman Sam France would deliver an explosive performance.
I had not expected the group to kick things off with a title track from an album almost four years old, but the crowd and I both welcomed it nonetheless.
