Recently saw these guys for a third time. The first, in 2007, at the 930 club in D.C. (The "backing band" was just Panda on the melodica.) The second show was in 2009, at the All Points West festival. This latest time was at the Academy of Music in Philly. Holy hell, they were amazing, While the music was always on target, the lighting, video, backing band, and overall setting has put these guys on a new level.

this just shows how absolutely incredible they are. they are one of the few bands that have flawless recordings, but somehow make it possible to sound even better live. thank you for posting this video.
