depends what you are referring to as early. i will say that when they first began touring the u.s., they needed a good bit of help. by their 2nd us tour, they were much better but upon their 3rd time here, they were a fantastic live band. they've really improved more than any other live band i've followed.
:shock: adaaa!!!
you so don't look like a dork at all. that's a fab pic, i'm so jealous. they didn't come out till 2 then? yeeps.
anyway, i just meandered in here to say i adore the music :-D
