I am mostly a casual fan of the band. They are good but I would not say great. But I will say that their show the other night at the State Fair was really pretty good. They are a tight unit of good musicians and played together like they had been doing it for a long time. The singer might have been a bit melodramatic but the show was good and the band rocked. Sure, the crowd was preteen and teen (and us, of course), but that’s ok. As far as I know, it was all original material except for a cover of INXS’ “Never Tear Us Apart”. The set list:
Your Surrender, Love and Affection, Calling My Name, Alarm, Helpless, In The Next Room, 1983, Phones, Farther Down, Animal, Our War, Attraction, Girls & Boys In School, Sins of my Youth, Never Tear Us Apart, Habits.
Here is some cheesy cell-phone video of the show, sorry for the quality (or lack of…)!
What do you think? Leave me a comment!
