I was amazed at how awesome they are live. I saw them twice during SXSW and was totally blown away. By far the best showcase(s) during SXSW. Snow Patrol and Stars amazed me as well.
BTW- I went and saw this band called Despistado at a show case with Pedro the Lion, Statistics, Denali and Ester Drang. Anyone ever heard of them? They were really good, but unfortunately just signed to Jade Tree like a week before the show so they had to pull all their EP's for a rerelease on that label.
They are from Canada (Regina, Saskatchewan to be exact).
