Within the ornate walls of San Francisco's Great American Music Hall last night (May 29), the Fiery Furnaces and opener Grand Ole Party seemingly battled head-to-head, each wielding decidedly different sounds -- and two vocalists each with a distinct style.

Described by bassist Jon Walker of tour headliner Panic at the Disco as "one hell of a convoy," the aesthetically wondrous Honda Civic Tour, also featuring Motion City Soundtrack, the Hush Sound, and Phantom Planet, kicked off at San Francisco's Warfield last night (April 10), and thankfully, destroyed lingering chatter of the recent Olympic torch fiasco with tunes aplenty.
