Ted Leo + Pharmacists at the Mod Club September 29

Damn...

Ted Leo and the Pharmacists are excellent live. Right from the get-go they rocked out, opening the set with "Little Dawn" at about 40 bpm faster than the album cut.
The rock didn't stop. The slowest anything was played was album speed, but that didn't happen that often.
I don't think I have ever seen such flawless timing on stage in my life - this band plays really tight and they were all doing their own sound on the fly.
Personal favourite moments from the show: "Where have all the Rude Boys gone?" and "Ballad of the Sin Eater".
These are some of the "hardest working dudes in show business" (thanks Acker). Check them out if at all possible.
