The energy level is slowly decreasing, so I'm not expecting too much, honestly. If you love their music like I do, then just having them play live is sublime. If, however, you're looking for an ass-kicker of a show, you can probably do better elsewhere. At the last show, Dan Bejar would just wander on and off the stage with a bottle of whiskey. He seemed to hit his queues, but it irked me a little that he could not be bothered to hang out on stage when he was not singing.

Counterpoint to my eeyore-prophecy: this does kick ass. That's eight talented mo-fos musicking all over your face. And they get at least one extra point for Neko Case.
