Wolf Parade @ Neumos
Outfuckingstanding. Un-fuckingfanstastic-believable. Brilli-fucking-ant. Outbrilliantstanding.
I’m blown away by how blown away I am by a band with ONLY ONE RECORD, by the way. Nevermind that, they played what was one of the best shows I’ve seen in months. Abso-ridiculously great.
They were relaxed and having a great time, and they played a bucketload of new material. If even half those songs are on the upcoming disc, it’s going to be Damn Good ™. The only conspicuous absence from Apologies to the Queen Mary was Modern World.
They nailed You Are a Runner and I Am My Father’s Son and Dear Sons and Daughters of Hungry Ghosts, my faves.
If you have photos of the show at Neumos, please contact us and we’ll post them in this blog entry. Thanks in advance.

Did they really not play “Modern World”? Maybe I jotted that down when I should have written “Shine a Light”.
Yea, not played.
I may be biased, but I bet this was totally not as good as Beer Sandwich at the Monkey Pub.
While not being able to see both shows at the same time, I’m going to agree and say WP was probably a close second ;-).
