Five people of like musical minds that found each other and seem to just have a blast. If the band is having fun, the audience probably is, too. They kept mentioning the good vibes they were feeling throughout the night, and they should claim a lot of credit for evoking such emotion. Check out the song "Naked Kids", which they performed, and see if it doesn't make you want to hang out with your friends at the beach and forget about everything else. They came out smiling and let themselves go, headbanging and thrashing to their tunes that don't sound like what you might think of when you think of headbanging. But they are talented at it; I'd be surprised if they don't have a chiropractor touring with them. Almost all the tunes off of their debut album, Never Trust a Happy Song, were played including "Betty's a Bombshell", "Don't Say Oh Well", and "Lovely Cup". Even when they brought out the melancholy "Gold Coast" they knew to follow it with the previously mentioned "Naked Kids" to balance the mood. Bassist Sean Gadd and lead singer Christian Zucconi switched roles for the fast-paced "Chloe" before eventually taking a break. The encore started with a completely unplugged and un-miked acoustic version of "Cruel and Beautiful World", something they claimed they had never tried before. It took some shushing of the crowd, but they made it happen. It also included "Tongue Tied", which you've probably heard on a TV commercial (can't remember the product, a car I think) and ended the night with their most popular tune, "Colours".
