Caught Brand New before they headed out with Thrice, but I heard Manchester Orchestra was going to open for them, so that sealed the deal.
I became a fan of Manchester Orchestra when I heard "I've Got Friends" on the radio, then I happened to be in a record store and saw that Everything to Nothing was on sale for $8. I immediately liked the record, and coincidentally, thought they sounded like Brand New and should tour with them. Lo and Behold, my prophecy came true.
Brand New was pretty explosive, opening the show with you "You Won't Know" from the The Devil and God are Raging Inside Me. Their set spanned their catalog, but the songs I enjoyed the most were from Devil and God, including "Sowing Season (Yeah)", "Jesus Christ", and the very atmospheric "Welcome to Bangkok". They played a good bit of their new stuff from Daisy, most of which I didn't know, because I didn't have a chance to pick up the record before the show.
All in all, a good show. Not great, but memorable.
