Touring without Bejar but with Neko, and they seemed a band completely comfortable in their own skin, right down to the ultra-casual outfits - ripped through a set of songs drawn from across all of their albums, starting with "Sing Me Spanish Techno" and ending (main set at least) on the high note of "The Bleeding Heart Show". In fact, they showed the happy knack of being able to pick the high points from their back catalogue for their live show; pretty much all of the songs came to life, but "Testament to Youth in Verse" (still my favourite of theirs), about midway through the set, stood out.
Also, support was an outfit from Brisbane, Little Scout. They were pretty sweet, and actually really good - melodic, colourful indie-pop.
