I only caught the end of the Le Loup set, but they were excellent. Really good. High energy, tight playing with a real dreamy pop sound. After a song or two, I realized that there were way more people (eight, to be exact) on stage than I originally thought. But they were all put to good use; the doubling up of guitarists and vocals and everything creates a live indie "wall of sound."

The Papercuts were up next. I wasn't so into them. When they announced that they were from San Francisco, I kind of rolled my eyes and thought to myself, "Of course they are." Very hippie-dippy sound — they were capable, but not my thing. They have a dreamy, downtempo, psychedelic vibe.
The bassist was one interesting looking dude, though. Long and lanky with a haggard old man face that looks like he's seen some things.
