First time seeing them and I am psyched as all hell.

Their songs are just so cool. The whole "other world" they create through them, and talking about characters that dont exist anymore but I wish they would, the chimbley sweeps and barrow boys, the legionnaire.

Should be an interesting show. They will play the entire Hazards of Love album then the second set is old songs.

    I saw them 2 years ago and they were great. I love the storytelling aspect to their songs, it's like reading an old Robert Louis Stevenson book.

    I wondered if they'd be doing Hazards of Love in its entirety like the Who did Tommy. Should be pretty cool!

    Saw them a couple nights ago. The Hazards of Love section is ridiculously amazing. I won't spoil it for you, but The Rake's Song is amazing live.

    My friend's band, Blind Pilot is one of the openers at that show- don't miss it! Kati Claborn (harmony vocals, banjo, etc.) is a good friend and a truly amazing voice- REALLY- DON"T MISS IT!!
