Spoon is great, really, but I enjoyed the French Kicks more. Britt (Spoon's frontman) and the rest of the band seemed a little too into themselves this time. Maybe they were tenative in front of such a large crowd, but this performance was not nearly as good as the last show I saw with them (after the release of "Girls Can Tell"). I think this also is because the new album is not as good as the last. Still, a mediocre performance by them is still a whole lotta fun. They have some damn catchy songs.

The French Kicks were spot on. Their new record is awesome. Awesome. See them before Spoon because it will be cheaper and livelier.
