I had seen a bit of there set in Austin @ SXSW in March. Rumor has it that the guitar tech played guitar there, but I am unsure about all of that. I do know that they were playing outside in the afternoon and weren’t anything I would write home about.
They have a lot of aspects I like. The rhythm of most songs consists of heavy drums’n'bass (think Secret Machines) and the quasi-nasal voice reminds me of a favorite lyricist (the Weakerthans), but it never really comes together for me in their short songs. The lighting they brought in was good in some parts, but mostly completely epileptic-inducing. I’m all about LED lights, but you you can’t use the brightest white setting and chase scenes under a second for more than a few songs.
I’m curious to see what they do next, but I am still not a devotee.
