Yes, it was a fun show. I wasn't sure I would stay through all of the Killers set but ended up staying the entire set (and encore). I thoroughly enjoying their stage presence. I loved watching Brandon Flowers' sardonic smile. And what a great voice. (He's somehow a compelling figure.) And musically, they were much, much better than when I saw them open for Stellastarr*. The set was just long enough before they would have started to repeat themselves.
Surferosa -errrrghhh. I am not quite sure how to describe them. I was alternately repulsed, uncomfortable, and amused. It was weird and odd. And in my mind, not very good. But the strangeness got the crowd going (though some people in the front looked disconcerted).
Ambulance, ah, Ambulance. I love them. They seemed particularly on last night. I've never heard Marcus' voice sound better. A short set -but then isn't it always? It's time for them to headline. I think their constant touring has now built up a solid fanbase, and they could get a good crowd at the 9:30 Club.
