Paramore Shows Off Energy On Chevrolet Stage The final night of "The Final RIOT!" This was how Hayley Williams, frontwoman of Tennessee emo-pop band Paramore, described the night to a packed house of mostly teenagers in skinny jeans Saturday night in Wallingford's Chevrolet Theater. Paramore told the crowd that there were "no words to describe how cool or fun this tour has been." The opening bands had already displayed pranks and merrymaking to celebrate the last night of the outing. The band opened with its three male members and touring rhythm guitarist, Taylor York, on stage. Williams joined them under flashing lights spelling out the name of the band's sophomore album, "RIOT!" The all-encompassing energy on stage built into the song "Born For This." Zac Farro's steady drums and churning electric guitar from his brother, Josh Farro, backed Williams' spunky vocals and occasional screams. Williams banged her tangerine-colored head and danced around the stage on "Here We Go Again" before moving into the swingy introduction of "Fences." By "crushcrushcrush," the band was displaying a pattern. Most songs started mid-tempo before building into a flurry of fast-paced pop-punk for the chorus. The band played "My Heart" acoustically, without drums. Williams' vocals sounded raw and earnest, without the chaos that normally surrounds them. Later in the one-hour set, the band played Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah." The song's tranquility lasted only a few minutes before a slamming guitar brought the band back to its usual style. Paramore left the stage before returning for its biggest hit, "Misery Business." All four of the bands on tour joined Paramore for the song, running and jumping around the stage. Jack's Mannequin, a piano-driven project of former Something Corporate singer Andrew McMahon, played before Paramore. Despite shaky vocals on the opening "I'm Ready," McMahon poured himself into a passionate set mainly composed of the band's first record, "Everything in Transit." A few tunes were played from the band's album to be released Sept. 30, "The Glass Passenger." Paper Route opened the show with brooding, moody pop. http://www.courant.com/entertainment/music/reviews/hc-paramorerev0901.artsep01,0,5355825.story

There's something innately likable about Paramore's lead singer Hayley Williams, and that was immediately apparent Tuesday night during the pop-punk band's headlining performance at the Minnesota State Fair. Despite her shock of dyed hair — John Mayer famously called her "the great orange hope" — the 19-year-old Mississippi native comes across as refreshingly free from the often-ridiculous limitations that come with being a woman in rock. She's not the type of overly mannered, stage-school graduate that populates "American Idol," nor does she display the carefully crafted and paper-thin "rebel" persona of Avril Lavigne. If anything, Williams seems grounded and nearly — gasp — normal. That approachability has helped make her an instant icon with teen girls around the world. Not to say Williams hasn't learned her share of rock-star tricks. From the moment Paramore took the stage, it was obvious those overseas festival dates earlier this summer taught the band a thing or two about the elevated energy needed to play to the cheap seats. Ironically enough, though, this show's relatively modest attendance of about 3,500 meant the majority of those cheap seats were empty. And, perhaps because of the soft ticket sales, the band's management decided less than an hour before showtime they would not allow local media to photograph the show. No matter. The kids who did show up brought the enthusiasm of a crowd three times the size and were so revved up they bent the security fence in front of the stage during Phantom Planet's mediocre set earlier in the evening. Newcomers Paper Route opened the night, while piano-driven emo rockers Jack's Mannequin proved to be an ideal warm-up for the main attraction with a clutch of lively, vaguely disco-influenced songs. Drawing from both their albums, with an emphasis on last year's platinum-seller "Riot," Williams barked out the rockers and brought out a surprisingly tender aspect of her voice during the mid-tempo numbers and ballads that, somehow, felt more intimate on the outdoor stage of the Fair than in a packed club. She dedicated the acoustic cut "My Heart" to the LiveJournal community that follows the band online and has forged a bond with the band that simply wasn't possible back in the glory days of Blondie and Pat Benatar, two obvious influences. It'll be interesting to see where Paramore goes from here. While most of the crowd was young enough to never have paid their own car insurance, the band did draw a noticeable number of adult women, a following that can only grow with time.
