Saw them first in 2004 with my brother. Wolf Eyes opened, my brother ended up leaving because he was sick.

It was my first “real” concert. I’d been listening to music heavily by then, we’ll into indie, but being poor and 17/18/19 it was hard to see live music. I’d been to others concerts small and big (Closing Olympic Ceremonies) - but that one cemented my love for live music, and I got really into the local scene after seeing another smaller show (Q and not U) after that.

I saw them again ~2008 and it was good, not as good, but Rather Ripped was a great album so got to see a bunch of stuff from them.

Pavement was up there for me too, and I just saw them twice over the last 12 months.
