This absolutely came out of nowhere, and I'm beyond happy. 'Seventh Tree' was divine and I can't wait to see what direction they'll go in (and ultimately make sweet, sweet love to) with this next album. 

Figures

Apparently Peter Murphy of Bauhaus is cameo-ing in the third Twilight movie.

Because: duh.

They ended with their opener

As anticipated, Fuck Buttons were downright transendiary last night. I was pumped to see the little cassette player (with a reminiscent sticker attached) knowing that they'd be pumping out a few Street Horrrsing tracks. Even the two openers Growing and These Are Powers were really pretty great. It was hard NOT to move, to NOT occasionally close your eyes and just swing around. I even got a little head-banging in when the apocalyptic buzz of 'Bright Tomorrow' kicked in. 

FB and Growing are playing again on the 27th at Market Hotel. I'm hoping to be there but if I can't then I'm beyond glad I made it last night, even when some forces (fuck you Ronkonkoma) were against me and my lovely evening companion.

If I recall correctly the set-list went something like:

Surf Solar

Colours Move

Rough Steez

Bright Tomorrow

Olympians

Phantom Limb

Space Mountain

Flight of the Feathered Serpent

And then an encore of Sweet Love For Planet Earth

Granted I could very well be making most of this up as I have a pretty awful memory, I am 90% sure that is the exact set-list, but I would get a second opinion.

Look! There I am! Right of heart-clenching girl.
