i start a mosh pit at every one of their shows and every time some stuck up college fruitcake rolls his eyes. But there's always a couple kindred spirits who dance with me

garryhoax - you need to see them play in Winnipeg then!

I love this band, but their concerts seem to be the same as Death Cab's, the music means so much to the people but the crowd never really show it in a energetic sort of way.

i saw them at bumbershoot in seattle and their definitely not a band to dance too.
aside from this song.

Actually, I have just seen them once, in Norway, just a couple months ago. Their concert was kind of calm, with some energy sparks (if I may call them that), but heres the thing; Their music is fantastic, John's voice is really great and they have presence and personality. I loved their concert, even if they did not wave their guitars enough or dance around (Actually they did that alittle as well). This concert video is pretty representative, really. But I love them.

His voice is really, really good live.

I think you have a point, but it's not the music it's probably their performances. They are pretty consistent in their performances, but, they don't do much to get the audience into it besides sing. Would be much cooler live if they put a little more oomph in it, but then again, I'm only basing it on this vid. Not sure if they've changed since then.
Still, love the song. I heard it on Wedding Crashers, and was pretty much hooked from then on.

This band is amazing, maybe if the footage was from a show in Canada you could properly understand how great they are to see live...



FWIW, they kicked ass at the Metro (Chicago)last night.
