I saw the Shins without knowing any of their music at all and assuming they would be OK but not great. It was a free show and I was about a 5 minute walk away and had nothing to do.
A bunch of lame ass sucky songs, 4:20 jokes, and then talking about all the Led Zeppelin they used to listen to. After the show I went to a party and saw some crazy ass band in diapers with drums, a bassist, and a guy on trumpet. Fricking retarded but a lot of fun.
Oh, Yo La Tengo blew live too. I saw them in a CD store for 5 bucks. Dribble.
Oh, and Modest Mouse sucked live. They were touring with the Walkmen, they sucked too. Even the Walkmen's 1 hit wonder that I thought was a decent song sucked.
