Well their first album was fantastic but if you missed it they have another one due out soon. Here is a track from it that any Smashing Pumpkins fan should love.

    I just discovered this band via a friend. Very Gish/Siamese Dream-era Pumpkins influenced. I detect some My Bloody Valentine and The Cure in their sound, too. Cracking band though. They're playing Dublin on my birthday-their first Irish show-and it's only across the road from me and it's only 16 euros. Think I know what I'll be doing so.

    They're fantastic! Glad to see them getting some love on here. One of my favorites from them: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjYFSyVF1Ks

    I absolutely love their new album, definitely one of my favorites of the year so far. Has anyone seen them live? They're playing in Chicago next week and I was thinking about trying to get tickets. Are they good live?

    Just saw them at Coachella & they were great. They snuck it at #10 on my top 10 sets for the weekend. I'd see em again for sure.

    Yeah, the National snuck up on me. Have their first 2 releases, but kinda gave up on them. That set brought me back.

    It's sets like that that make Coachella so great. Bands I haven't seen before, or wanted to but missed, or bands I'd never really taken to for one reason or another. See 'em all in 1 place & see what sticks.

    Should be able to tell ye how good the Pains... are after June 1st! Not that that helps you as your gig is before. :D The songs are good, so as long as they don't spend the whole gig shoe-gazing (and I've not heard anybody say they do), and they look like they're having a good time, I'd say they'll be good live.

    Daytrotter.com has a free live-in-the-studio download recorded April 15. You have to register for the site, but it's free. Has a 128kbps free download of their set (3 or 4 songs). It's good.
