"It seemed like the ending to 'Hey Jude' for like an hour straight." That's how Kansas City rocker Drew M. Gibson felt about the last time he saw the Polyphonic Spree. Fortunately, that's not such a bad proposition when it's executed with white robes, a 20-piece orchestra and a lead singer who just missed the cut for Jesus Christ Superstar. Alas, the world has wised up to the Spree's gimmickry — and that's why the band has switched to black combat garb for its latest tour in support of The Fragile Army. The third LP strikes an agreeable balance between the Flaming Lips and the Partridge Family, setting the stage for a live spectacle that's at least as much fun as Wings.
