I'm writing about this show in early May instead of early February when I actually saw it, but from what I can remember Los Campesinos! was a lot better the first time I saw them at Empty Bottle. It might have been the more intimate digs over at the Bottle, but I think it also had a lot more to do with the band having something to prove in winter 2007 rather than winter 2009. They seemed complacent, and all-around just not as fun. On record they sound either fun or whiny, and I guess I've seen both sides of that live, now, too.
