I enjoyed the irony of a blogger endorsing this band as rising over the horde of other blogger-endorsed bands, lol. ;)

black kids are "meh" in my book. but Cut Copy is going to be ridiculous. My question is, was there really enough ticket sales to justify the whole 2nd show being added? I cant stand that..now the starting time for my ticket has been pushed back to 10, on a weeknight no less. Same exact thing go thrown at me with the M83 show later this month. Seriously, whats the deal with that? Who can make a 6:30 start time anyway. If the original show sells out, tough luck, but stop screwing all the other ticket holders over.

Oh, what different tastes we all have! Clap Your Hands, loved the first CD, thought the follow-up was mediocre with a couple of interesting tracks. Found new respect for them after seeing them live. Vampire Weekend, hands down great CD! Nearly every track is a winner. Never seen Black Kids or Cut Copy, so looking forward to the show!

I don't know.....I saw the Black Kids at Coachella last week and they were completely mediocre.

I like Kate Nash's cover of I'm Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How To Dance With You as much as the Black Kids original.

I actually liked the first CYHSY album, but I really just don't 'get' the big deal over Vampire Weekend. They are just bland and boring. The Black Kids are not.

Fore every Arcade Fire there are dozens of Clap Your Hands Say Blahs / Vampire Weekends. Ha, good call. For me it was like: "Wait, really? *this* is that Clap Your Hands band that everybody's gushing over".
