Youth Group (Slim's, 12 March 2007)

I like Youth Group. Their album, Skeleton Jar, was a great piece of work. It's a shame that they are not that known here in the U.S. as opposed to their home country of Australia. They make great songs because the band reminds me an awful lot of James. Their recent album, Casino Twilight Dogs, is not so great to my ears. But there are hits in there like the "Underpass" song and their cover of "Forever Young" (it's not a b-side in my book!).

The crowd was sparse. There wasn't that many people that went to this show, and that's quite disappointing given that this is such a good band. But, more room for me to stretch out, which is fine by me.

Most of their songs was from Casino Twilight Dogs like "Underpass". Although I now appreciate thos songs much more live, the better songs were from Skeleton Jar. The band was tight throughout. I had to leave a bit early, but I liked what I did see. So did the crowd.
