    Nice!
    Have not seen them live, just never happened.  At some point.
    Absolutely make sure you do - I saw them a few times over the years, last time in 2018 for Tranquility Base Hotel and they were SO different from '07 but still so fantastic!

    Also I was wrong, looks like they were in the US in 2006 too, so that SXSW show was super early but not their 1st in Texas.

    2005 Mercury Lounge was the first US show.  US showcase. Yes, I was there basically 5 feet away from the band. They had a rowdy british following that was in attendance that night.  LOVED this band, for the first two records. After that, I am not into it.  Alex with a pompadour? No thanks.  They had a really good 3 years.  Play the myspace songs goddammit. Bigger boys and stolen sweethearts.

    Yeah, I haven't come around to them after Worst Nightmare. Still those first 3 years were all killer.
