Sunday Katherine and I saw MxPx and Dashboard Confessional. MxPx, tagging along with Dashboard Confessional until their own tour for their upcoming album, was very good. They didn’t play a few songs I would have liked to hear, but in their short set they got in a lot of their good ones and managed to sneak in two good new tunes. Dashboard Confessional played very well, much to the delight of hundreds of teenage girls, but didn’t offer very much to me that the CD can’t provide. Mostly they just stood there any played their songs, pausing occasionally to let the crowd chime in. And they sounded good, but there just wasn’t much showmanship there. Though the cover of “Teenage Dirtbag” was a pleasant surprise. (And to make me proud, Katherine recognized it before I did.)
