I’ve been looking for this set list for a while…I went to this show with my girlfriend Jessie and wanted to post this for posterity since it was our first concert together.

Like Eating Glass
Positive Tension
Banquet
Blue Light
She’s Hearing Voices
The Marshals Are Dead
This Modern Love
Two More Years
Luno
Little Thoughts
Helicopter

So Here We Are
The Price Of Gas

Tulips
Pioneers

…..yes, yes they DID play a double-encore…one of the coolest things I’ve ever been witness to at a concert.

Cold War Kids

These guys from Whittier, CA are far and away better than any of the others listed below. They’ve recently come off tour with Tapes ‘n Tapes. I wish i could have seen that lineup. Firstly, CWK have a swagger that can’t be taught. Their single “Hang Me Up To Dry” begins with a funky bass line that goes throughout the entirety of the song. What really drives the song is the lead singer’s voice. There is a music video of the song on their myspace page that looks like it was taped at a middle school during lunch or recess or something. The kids really get into it and displays the band as showmen and passionate about their tunes. The repeated guitar melody after the chorus doesn’t really showoff what the lead guitarist is capable of but it is catchy and creative. Overall, these guys should be listened to, and would look out for a LP.
