The National

Fooking good aren't they. One of the greatest bands in the world.

Anyone else like them?

Anyone catch them on Jools' show just now?

Tickets for UK gigs in Nov/Dec just went on sale if anyone's interested.

Glad to see I'm not alone.

Latest album 'High Violet' is a stunner.

saw them a few years back and they're ace live.

Good to know - I've got tickets for Warwick Arts Centre.


By the way, this might be worth a look:

"RACING DREAMS is the award winning coming-of-age story about three kids who dream of one day racing in NASCAR - featuring music by The National".

Hopefully we'll be able to catch it in the UK somewhere...

Well I saw them the other night and they were, as expected, absolutely brilliant.

One of the best gigs I've seen in over 20 years of concert-going.

I’m seeing them in January; they're doing an Australian tour.

Ahh excellent...they must have heard your pleas as per your post back in June!

Boxer and Alligator (my favourite) are both fantastic, and Sad Songs is merely very good.

If you like Velvet I doubt you'll be disappointed with the older stuff.
