My first show of the year (Vampire Weekend was not meant to be) and I showed up late enough to stand in the back. It's all good though, happy bday special k

Swedish American has first come first serve seats. Size-wise it's like coming to a tiny town hall meeting, with better lighting



Nada Surf was great, their faux-acoustic set ideal for this place. They played a lot off the new album Lucky (just released). I like some of those songs, but for me, it's always about waiting around for "Fruit Fly". That song is yums

I'm not super into banter though I liked the math jokes. Nerdy. Oh yeah Daniel (Lorca) rocked the smokes, I will always love it buddy. The boys really rock the falsettos too

Set list highlights (random order)
- Fruit Fly
- Blonde on Blonde
- Killian's Red
- Blizzard of 77
- Always Love
- See These Bones
- What Is Your Secret
- Weightless
- I Like What You Say
- Whose Authority (maybe)
- The Blankest Year (last song, encore)

It seemed like a short show (I did miss the start), which I guess worked out cuz I haven't gone to one of these in a while, legs be achin'. Bravo and a well deserved standing ovation to send them off. SF Loves you


Nada Surf is back in town on March 22, playing the Fillmore
