Did You Ever Want To Be Overrun by Bandits?

Oh Midlake. I still don't quite have my wits about me when it comes to last night's Midlake gig at Schubas. Of course they were better in my favorite-club-on-earth compared to that street/field/gap-in-the-trees they played at Lollapalooza. I feel like they are one of those bands that you must see from no more than ten feet away in order to be completely enraptured by their live show, BUT from the very back of the room I still found them very moving. I thought "Head Home" and "Bandits" were the standouts along with the new song "Children from the Ground" (??). It couldn't have been a better show with two exceptions... 1) a better vantage point and 2) more people in the crowd should have been able to pick up the joke they made about the Shrub and their Texas roots.
