But the presence of Hot Hot Heat is hardly the worst thing about that bill.

I saw them just before and after that came out in Vancouver and Bellingham. They were pretty damn good at that point.

Didn't get into the full length, and they've only gotten worse and worse.

Pull those records out in a few years and see what you think of them.

Louis XIV, I'd like to unnecessarily ad, is just fucking awful.

But, yes, that was by far the best incarnation of the band, "Bandages" be damned.

Okay, fine. You made your point.

The 7" was first and had that great song "Matador at the door."

Yes, even worse than LXIV. Editors, though, came through and more than made up for the two lame openers.
