I saw them last night, it was great!

They came out for 3 encores, one being the Talking Heads Naive Melody. The last tune they did, they got off the stage walked through the music hall, up the balcony and ended it outside!

Their sound is so lush, I love it! Have fun whoever else is going tonight and tomorrow!

This band is just so good. Booking shows of there's in the 'early days' you could easily tell that if the right person saw this band, that they would take off. Just six months ago they played the Underground to 212 people. And six months before that 74 people. Now four sellouts in Toronto.

Easyily my favorite band of the year.

I saw them at the Rivoli, Sneaky Dee's and Lee's. I know when I saw them at Lee's it was the last time I would pay less then $10 to see them.

Great live band. Loved their show at the Underground in Hamilton last fall. Took my kid to it, since he loves their new album Funeral. It was his first club show (he was 18 months old, in a backpack)

People predict their album will sell 500,000 copies in the US by this time next year. It's already over 100,000 (and has soundscanned 14,000 in Canada through the chain stores - wow!)

[fluffhead77]

did anyone see tapers at the shows so far?

[CyberHippie]

What's the deal with these guys they seem to be all the rage these days. What's their sound like? Indy pop?

a brief review...

it was pretty much exactly what i expected ...however, i thought the theatrics would be a little more elaborate.

the show basically made me apprieciate the album that much more...but it really wasn't anything mind blowing...

the crowd was a little too cool for school and then venue up close had horrible sound.

thats all i gotta say bout that.

oh, at one point, the lead singer came out into the crowd and started walking up the seats reberto benini style...and stepped on my new sweater.... FUCKER!
