Does that bode well for me liking Last of The Shadow Puppets?

Do you like Fireside, Dev? I think that song could fit on an LSP record nicely.

YouTube Standing Next To Me, My Mistakes Were Made For You, and maybe Aviation or Miracle Aligner to get an idea of what they're about.

I'd be very surprised if we don't have a song by October and an album by February or March.

I'm cool with that timetable. Any substance to it?

Not at all, unfortunately, but they wrapped up the LSP stuff around this time last year, and there was talk in the fall, I think, of them being back home to record.

Have they played Oz yet? If so, have you seen them?

Never seen them. Missed them in England and Australia. Tbh, I was only a passing fan until 2012.

I’ve heard 1 or 2 songs. Not sure. They’re supporting this Friday so I’ll see them then.

I’m excited for you and can’t wait for your review. I did not get a chance to see them on the tranquility base tour after seeing them support each of the previous 4 albums. I would travel to see them if they’d play stateside again this summer.

This was a weird experience. Most of the gigs I see now days aren't popular gigs so the crowd is mainly chilled middle aged dudes. This was different and I had totally underestimated just how big the AM album was. The crowd on the floor was mainly university aged and was 60/40 male/female. All cool I thought. Turns out the level of entitlement of a few had a massive effect on my enjoyment. Since when do guys get on the shoulders of other guys at gigs. Fuck that. Add to that some Brits who were not only plastered but up for antagonizing others. To the show...

Mini Mansions were okay but not really my thing. A bit too smooth. Their last track had Matt join in on a second kit and that was good. Lots a squealing going on though which was a worry.

AM hit the stage with 4 extra guys. They nailed pretty much every track although some of the older material didn't seem to have the necessary revs. Maybe it's the attitude or maybe they're not in to that material at the moment. There were times I thought they were even bored. Maybe not everyone is as into the new direction. Of which, every TBH&C track had a change to the stage setup. A huge lighting rig was lowered 5 times through the set for those tracks, each time taking up to a minute. It broke the set and lost momentum although it did look cool.

Setlist:
Four Out of Five
Snap Out of It
Crying Lightning
Brianstorm
Don't Sit Down 'Cause I've Moved Your Chair
Library Pictures
Science Fiction
Arabella
Teddy Picker
From the Ritz to the Rubble
One Point Perspective
Fireside
Cornerstone
505 (With "The Jam of Boston")
Tranquility Base Hotel + Casino
Do I Wanna Know?
Pretty Visitors
I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor

Encore:
Star Treatment
No. 1 Party Anthem
R U Mine?
