Cold War Kids Roll Call

[bearman🐻]

Damn...I don't know what ggw looks like otherwise I would have said hello. Bags, I was looking for you! I have to say I enjoyed the show as well. It seemed like what Delta Spirit and Tokyo Police Club lacked in age and songwriting, they made up for in passion and spirit. Lots and lots of unbridled enthusiasm. Cold War Kids were good...likewise, I couldn't figure out their scruffy jam-band kind of image and how it played into their music, but for what it was I thought it was pretty good. The song where everyone got onstage to bang their drums, cymbals, etc. was really cool, and one of the more entertaining things I've seen in a long time. It's nice to see 3 bands in a row that are all really passionate about their music and put 100% into their performances. I'll be out of the country so I will miss the Stooges...I expect full reports outta all yous

I yelled down at you from the balcony a few times, but you couldn't hear me.
 
 I didn't think you and GGW knew each other, which is why I thought it funny y'all were right near each other.

  I kept getting this Walkmen-meet-311 vibe from them.  They sound a little like they were in a jam band but decided to play four minute indie songs instead.  Not that there is anything wrong with that.

I'm with you both on CWK.  In the end, I enjoyed it, but am not sure I'll enjoy the album all that much.  Onstage you got their energy, that I think added to the show and their songs.
 
 The CWK guitarist kept reminding me of Jamiroquois.

Cold War Kids were horrible.  I had to leave after the 3rd song.  Too bad the bass and guitar players didn't put as much effort into playing good music as they did in jumping around on stage.  Their stage presence was so distracting that I couldn't focus on the music at all.

The guitarist and bass player ARE indeed ridiculous and distracting. Proof? Check this clip from Jimmy Kimmel:

 It looks like they are stomping grapes.
 
 What is so appealing about these guys?!

Wow Kosmo.  Stereotype much?
 
 Other than the two songs with actual verses and choruses, I didn't enjoy them either.
 
 I don't see what the big deal is.

It's ok to stereotype if you're hating on people of your own race!

As long as no one is criticizing DJ Charlie, I'm cool.
