It was a short set:
Red Dragon Tattoo / interview 1 / Maureen / Hackensack / Valley Winter Song / interview 2 / Hey Julie / Half a Woman
The interview bits were mercifully brief, about 3 minutes apiece. But it was a pretty quick afternoon altogether. I parked around the block from Schubas and got in line. There was a little rope barrier and I went and stood on what I thought was probably the wrong side of it, but when the XRT people started organizing the crowd it turned out I was on the right side, so I accidentally ended up first in line. Oh well.

izzat made his appearance and we chatted for a bit. I think we did all right for two people who'd only met a couple times before. :P Anyway, always a pleasure and I look forward to the next time.We heard them soundchecking Red Dragon Tattoo and Hey Julie, and finally they let us in. At this point I was glad I'd been first in line because now I was in the front row and could see what was going on; the girl next to me was literally like six feet tall and it was much nicer being beside rather than behind her.
And then they came out and played some songs. They sounded pretty good except I think that Chris was not really in the best of voice; he was straining a bit on the high notes. They took a couple breaks for that guy from XRT to ask them questions, and this part was both annoying and amusing: annoying because the questions were completely idiotic, and you could tell that Chris and Adam were answering only because they knew their duty as performers compelled them to do so, but it was also quite obvious that they thought the questions were completely inane, and that was kind of funny.
So they rolled through their songs and when they'd finished Half a Woman they zipped off the stage and instantly disappeared. But I think I got my money's worth.
Hey, I do feel a little better. Good.

Haha.
Too bad it was such a short set.

From what I remember, they're usually wandering around a venue before their set, taking in the openers. They seem pretty approachable since people who recognize them and go up to them usually can get in a word or two with the members. If you were interested in talking to them at all. I was always too shy.
