Mates of State

Are they always that good?

[Thousand Made-Up Loves]

Not sure, but I was pretty fucking impressed myself.
 
 What would it take for them to play Running Out? I guess they never play it anymore.
 
 Wasn't sold on the new album at first, but now, I just feel flat-out stupid. What an incredible fucking show.
 
 The fast, live version of Think Long was just freaking killer. And Beautiful Dreamer was as epic as expected. Best $15 I've spent since Pinback. And THAT'S how you get a show done before the Metro closes.

OK, so stupid question, and i did have a lot to drink, but what was the Beatles song they played? I'm blanking out...
 
 Great show though. They used to get chewed up on this board for being terrible live, but all 3 times I've seen them has been really great.

[Vas Deferens]

did they play as a two-piece or ?

[miss pretentious]

no - they had a guitar player for stuff off the new album.

I'm an uber MoS fan girl. So their show last night I was bopping around like a fool. They played a great mix of older stuff - hearing Proofs was worth it alone - and newer. I too hadn't purchased the new album yet, but I'm so on it.
 
 Thoughts on the opener from anyone? I'm kinda like... meh and unable to really describe. It was super random to have a white rapper open IMHO

[redsock]

Yeah, so again, Beatles song anyone?

[wml7]

Good show huh???  I've seen them twice at Lollapalooza and All Points West.  They were great.  They are playing in Charlottesville tonight.  I'm going to that show and will love to see how they sound in a club setting.  Should be good!

[mr. pretentious]

That was my fourth time seeing them, and it just might be the best I've seen of theirs.  I guess it helps when your keyboardist/singer/one-half of your band isn't preggers.

"Something"

Yeah she's not prego no more.  She is so cute.

[killsaly]

Glad to hear the show was good.  I skipped it, but am catching them at the Ottobar later this month.

[Thousand Made-Up Loves]

Kori's even cuter when her face is beet-red after performing on stage for a while.

Looks like I completely buried myself in work, didn't realize they were playing. Stupid question - this was at the club? (Funny, I woke up w/ one of their songs stuck in my head)

[wml7]

It was on the main stage of the Cat.
