They were really good (although for most of the show, the harmony vocals were skant). They played a great set, but then quit fairly early (half an hour earlier than most bands) with no encore. Still happy with my evening, I was waiting at the bar for a pitcher of beer when I saw Joe Pernice next to me and so I just casually said "nice show" to him. He did not reply, but rather, looked at me as if he was looking through me...it was a bit unsettling. I got the feeling that he was (is) a self-absorbed a-hole. That being said, I'd go see them again, and will continue to buy the albums as they come out. But, like Byron, there is a bit of a bitter aftertaste from that show. 56576@blogcritics.org Wed, 7 Apr 2004 10:53:06 EDT
