I'm listening to them right now...I've tried to go catch them before, but it never worked out. I may try and get to one of the radio city shows, but with phish tickets, money is even tighter.

Red, I'd say go for it.  I've lucked out a few times in Toronto getting tix last minute.  I would think you wouldn't be disappointed but I've been pretty psyched on them for awhile now and haven't had a chance to see them.

That surprises me but I've never heard them live so maybe they don't translate well in a concert.  Their studio stuff is pretty wicked IMO.

My mom just called me all confused.  She said you sipped some Mouthwash and then raped a bean bag chair.

I saw them at the Crystal here in Portland.  It was free.

But no I'm not that biggest fan of them, although I do have both their albums on the ipeezee.  Their studio stuff is aight,  but they didn't really change it up much for the show. 

Plus that Ezra Koenig guy looks like dudes I used to make fun of in high school.

I dislike them.  1st album I liked, this 2nd one is just more of the same.  One trick pony to me.

However lot of teenage girls love them and pay scalper prices with pleasure....tickets for this tour have sold out immediately and sell for a lot on the after market.

But, in all seriousness they are big right now and this tour has been huge for them.
