Dakota says: "despite their very interesting sound, Miike Snow's set list was embarrassingly short..."
Libby says: "I was glad the set list was short. In fact, I ditched before they were even done. After hearing "Animal" (the best song right now next to HEALTH's "DIE SLOW") I was sick of fighting a massive sweaty wave of White Hats and fending off a guy with wandering hands and a fake British accent... Miike Snow was great- and the lead singer's voice sounds even more like Peter Gabriel live which is always a plus, but I peaced it during "Plastic Jungle" out of self-preservation. "
Best part of the night: freak dancing with Shea Van Horne.
WHAT DID YOU THINK?!? Did you get your freak on?

I didn't go to the show but I just want to second on that HEALTH track. I've been wanting someone to write that song forever.
So what was the draw for the white hats? Blame my lack of cable programming, but has a Miike Snow song been featured on Gossip Girls or in some car commercial recently? Seriously, I was confused.
I KNOW THAT HEALTH SONG RULES MY ENTIRE WORLD
Also- Miike Snow was just on Gossip Girl
Logan you just saved my life. Thank you.
Yes, oddly short playlist. Libby--anytime!!
Jack Penate, his opener, was mad cool (and incredibly good looking). I didn't even stay for Miike Snow
They would not let us play a longer set.
i would have been there if i didn't have that annoying thing called work.
god.
it gets in the way.
:p
What? While millions of Americans haven't jobs, they are employing fucking japanese. No really, this is rich.
Mark Ronson did good remix of Animal, almost like it better.
