All I can say is wow. I'd seen BSS a few times before (including with the whole band at Lollapalooza) but this show was exceptionally good. Bandmates/openers Do Make Say Think opened up with solid set (imagnine BSS without lyrics). Opening with "Lover's Spit," the band looked like they were set to take over Cleveland. Kevin Drew stopped the set briefly in the middle of "7/4 (Shorelines)" to break up an apparent fight in the audience, saying "That's not what our music is about!" I was a little disappointed that Lisa Lobsinger was there in place of Feist, Amy Milan, or Emily Haines, but she still made "Anthems for a Seventeen Year Old Girl" sound great (Kevin Drew quieted the crowd before hand saying "Let's stop the Bar Mitzvah for a second and pretend we're in an opium den."). One of the highlights for me was having guitarist Jason Collett come out and play one of his solo songs, "I'll Bring the Sun" with the band. They closed with "It's All Gonna Break," but came back to play "KC Accidental" before heading off the stage. A show this great makes me sad they're going on hiatus. I took a video of "Anthems" that I'm attempting to put on YouTube, so I'll get that up hopefully soon.
Ted Leo/RX with Death Cab for Cutie tonight. I'm extremely hyped. As a gift to you, here is a video of DCFC on Halloween as Devo.
