Fun show, though last year at the Black Cat was a little more enjoyable. I chalk this up to:
1) the material from the debut being stronger than the songs on Proof of Youth, and
2) the fact that Black Cat makes everything necessarily more crowded. This is a great band for packt-like-sardines dancing and undulating across the whole crowd. 9:30 having more space in general kept things a little tamer than I would have liked.
Still, a very fun show. I'd to see more shows at the club get spazzy projected visuals and DJ sets between acts. Ninja's insane, and the guy in the banana costume deserves a shout-out too.
