I caught them a couple of months ago opening for M. Ward out here at the Apollo Theatre. They were unbearably dull. I assumed it was the venue, but to hear that they were equally as dull in a venue as tiny as The Entry is only mildly surprising.

While the wax museum comments and attitude kinda bugged me, I loved the whole set all the way through until the end jam kinda dragged on a little.

Yeah – For the most part I agree with Solace. Though I thought that VG’s Hot Freaks’ set was decent, the other time I saw them was pretty bad.

Plus the attitude seems kind of shitty

they were not good either of the 2x I saw them at SXSW, so sounds like I didn’t miss a ton here either.

as you said, they show promise, but the inconsistency even over the course of a single short set is kind of annoying to me.

that said, their super late night set on a pedestrian street bridge in Austin was def one of the more memorable shows I saw if only for the whole weird/cool scene
