    Saw them at the Showbox here in Seattle last Tuesday night. Alain Johannes opened up the show, performing solo. The entire night was really great and a rarity for the Showbox as they purposely did not sell the place out in order to "class the place up" a bit. Read this review for a good recap:

    Man, those setlists look spectacular...

    Joseph Arthur's 'In The Sun' is one of the best songs I've ever heard IMO.
    Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V

    I was at that show... the early show that started late. The Velvet Underground song was 'Pale Blue Eyes' and wasn't the the best place? A Cemetery?

    for the last song of the night, with whom you belong, the band walk to the front of the stage then into the room and did the song with no mics or amps!! thats how small the room was, Really COOL!
