I hate resurrecting threads, but I saw them last night and I gotta say I was unimpressed. I still dig them to an extent, but it sounds like they got someone else to play Elisa's parts on the record to make them "sound good." Yeah, I love noise and alla that, but Elisa just kind of spazzes out and presses her thumb down on a random fret and moans. That was the whole show. There were a few highlights, and i still like the new album, but Pete is the ONLY worthwhile asset they have live. Great drummer that guy is. This is REALLY un-punk but after seeing hordes of bands lately who suffer from this: if you're going to try and start writing songs with chord progressions and alla that, it might be wise to learn the actual chord placements for live performance.
