I like the followup threads:

I have heard these guys are the bomb but never made it to a show or bought a cd.

They have some beautiful little songs. One starts: "Sitting out on the roof, watching hardcore ufos," and it's real pretty. But somehow I couldn't get into my full-length cd. All the short songs massed together have a barrage-like effect.

I was at this show and remembered it somewhat differently, albeit drunkenly. I hated the venue, horrible sound with sheets of metal on the walls. Didn't like the new songs either. I thought that the show got better as the night went on, no surprise, as I drank more. In fact, "Everywhere with Helicopter" was one of the highlights for me. I too noted the presence of whiskey on stage, something that began popping up when Nate Farley joined the band and they began the decline that they are currently riding like a locomotive to hell. I commend you for staying sober and offering up this objective review though. Going to a GbV show for a recovering alcholic must be something like visiting a crackhouse for a recovering crackhead.
