I made one song request from each of their three albums (via Twitter), and all three were met! Not that I think I had anything to do with it, but I got my wish! My picks were "Dear Sons and Daughters of Hungry Ghosts", "Kissing the Beehive", and "Pobody's Nerfect" (definitely my favorite cut from Expo 86 so far).
"We built this city on cocaine lasers"
I'm gonna have to get more ambitious with my wishlist next time, with some non-album cuts - "Bones", "Killing Armies", and "Lousy Pictures". I'd REALLY love to hear "Bones" - why the fuck hasn't this amazing song been recorded for an album yet?
I had a few people who I told about the show ask me what the band sounds like, and..."there's one dude who plays keyboard and has a yelpy Bowie vocal delivery, and another dude who plays guitar and has more of a barking voice, and there's MASSIVE energy in the air as they battle each other for supremacy of the audience"...something like that.
