"Borrowed" a copy of The Magic Numbers UK release to listen to on my recent roadtrip. It will probably land squarely in my top five releases of the year. It's intelligent pop at it's finest. Well crafted , tuneful, and catchy. A dash of folk, power pop, pysch pop, etc all nicely mixed together. It's vastly more consistent than other highly touted debuts albums that have come out this year. I would recommend it for fans of Delgados, De Novo Dahl, The Coral, etc.
It's a shame they are being wasted away on the fans of Conor, who will surely be texting away or comparing Hot Topic fashions, instead of paying attention to them. They should be at the Black Cat playing to a small but wildly supportive crowd.

Bad form - I, for one, will be showing up early to see them, and the tour hasn't even started, so it's presumptuous to complain about what a fan base MIGHT do to an opener.

don't you know that liking bright eyes automatically makes you a terrible person?

My username implies another board member gave me a blowjob. Terrible person was achieved awhile ago.

i'm not implying the bright eyes fans are bad, it's just that there is six things on thier minds, and the magic numbers wont be one of them.

Six what? Centimeters?

I saw the Magic Numbers at SXSW this year, and was very impressed. Hadn't heard anything about them before, and only went because I didn't have any plans for that time slot and I was with a friend who was interested in checking them out. Based on what I saw, they are fully capable of winning over the Bright Eyes crowd.

for purely selfish reasons they should be playing the black cat...

I'm going to this show because of The Magic Numbers; not a big Bright Eys fan. Am so happy I'll be able to see them, but yes, I would much rather see them headlining at a smaller venue.
I'll be going to Vegoose in October in Vegas and was psyched to see them added to the lineup.
