Saw these guys on 7/10. I'll probably hear "nothing is better than ezra" or some such jokes but whatever.

Good relaxed atmosphere. Band was incredibly tight musically and relaxed physically.. they danced and said it felt like a backyard show to them. Setlist includes the following songs (not sure about the order); I meant to write it down in my phone but three long island's pushed that plan into oblivion.

Turn Up the Bright Lights
Good *
Misunderstood *
Black Light
Lifetime *
All In *
Extra Ordinary *
Absolutely Still *
King of New Orleans *
Sincerely Me *
At The Stars
Laid
Nightclubbing
Juicy *
Desperately Wanting *
Rosealia *
The Loveless
Let my love open the door
In the blood *

* = songs I was familiar with.

I was very happy to hear King Of New Orleans live. It is quite possibly one of my favorite songs of theirs.

cool stuff. I didn't know they were still around. I remember listening to "Good" when I was in the 8th grade... I'm 28 now, so thats quite some time ago. I remember the song "desperately wanting" too, other than that I figured they'd disappeared. Glad it was a good time bro. :up:
