I don't know how many PE folks know this band, but my daughter got me into them over the last year or two. Indie rock, college rock, yacht rock, cow punk, even a little prog, fusion and metal. This band mixes up pretty much every rock style from the past 40-50 years, all in service to to truly quirky but very literate lyrical themes of lead singer John Darnielle. The band was hot, pulling it all off like it was no big deal.
It was great to see a band with such an enthusiastic audience. The venue was packed to the gills. They played a lot of new stuff, even though the band has been around for 30 years. And most everyone in the audience was singing along to all the new stuff. That is something I don't experience often...
