My god that was the best gig I've ever been to. They were just stunning. Their performance was so passionate it felt like they were drawing blood with each guitar chord they played, I shit you not.

They played most of The Meadowlands and a couple of older songs. Everyone Choose Sides was piledriving, Boys You Won't Remember was glorious and ended up with almost the entire front row on the stage assaulting random percussion instruments, and the encore of Thirteen Grand and She Sends Kisses was the best thing ever.

I failed to identify any DiSers but that was more than made up for by having a 10 minute conversation with Charles Bissell (guitarist/singer, the guy on the right of the stage for those who were there) after the gig. I'm pretty sure I was a babbling idiot but he was very nice and good conversation and he promised they'd be back in January for a longer tour.

The Borderline's an excellent venue too and the crowd were great, there were loads at the front anyway who were well into it and screaming back every word. My throat is sore, that's for sure.
