Just got done watching their Lallapalooza set stream on the U-choob.
What a great band!
Horn section, ebows, falsetto BV's, a hot drummer who barely plays his cymbals, sometimes 2 basses, dynamic performance, wonderful arrangements, great lyrics ...
And Berninger (too bad about the name ) drank a bottle of wine while on stage; the camera showed the empty rolling around as he went into the crowd singing "I don't wanna fuck this up", got back on stage, rolled around in spilled wine in his 3 piece suit, went back into the crowd ...

I love High Violet, what was the first record I had of theirs.
But I gotta say, I don't like the production too much; while not un-dynamic, it feels dense but crushed and lacking in sonic depth.
The latest seem more open, but I do wish they'd let themselves be just a touch more un-polished; not all of us "dad-rockers" abhor dirt, and some of us even like the garage.
