The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.
The only time I saw them they had to restart the first song because Matt butchered the opening so badly. Felt kinda bad for Aaron since it was at a festival he co-curated.
is this sloppy show and good/fine performance typical?
seeing them for first time in dec, and my expectations are starting to decline.
Saw them at the Belly Up in aspen and they did All The Wine twice and basically aborted it both times because Matt couldnt get the lyrics right and when he did he was laughing at them.
Theyre awesome live though.
I wanted to go to that show...NYE show right? We have a Belly Up in San Diego and it's awesome.
And I echo Strat, you will have a great time. I've just seen them a bunch so this one didn't live up to the past experiences. They also played too many songs off the new album which solidified to me it's the worst album they've put out.

Theyre so authentic and sweet about it when it happens. And they deliver some really amazing performances.
yeah agreed, they fuck with each other about it in a jovial way. they're definitely a studio band, but catching them live is a nice event. what i like about it is that they fuck it up. i don't like perfect shows that go off too smoothly. i want my rock shows to be unpredictable.

so these guys are in Chicago for an Obama Foundation event on Wednesday, but they're playing a small venue in the West Loop tonight (House of Vans). It was lottery only, and I missed the deadline. But I broke down and paid some dude $100 to be his +1 tonight. God help me.
likes rhythmic things that butt up against each other

i missed out on the lottery - how was the show?
Pretty stellar. It's always nice to see them in a tiny venue. Because it was a "free" show, I knew they wouldn't play a complete show. But the free beer (and posters) made up for it. Hell, I was home by 9:00.

I haven't listened to the new album at all since giving it my first initial listens. I was so underwhelmed by those first couple times through that I've had zero desire to spin the album again. I've got a four hour drive ahead of me today so I am considering giving it another shot today.
