The Editors @ The Newport

I saw The Editors tonight at the Newport Music Hall (along with Mobius Band, South, and Stellastarr*)... these guys have gotten quite a bit of buzz lately, as I imagine regular readers of this blog already know.

These newer-wave bands all have a sound that are proven formulas. Commercial success for these bands depend the generation gap to prevent any recollection of said previous success. This phenomenon was demonstrated tonight when the crowd, which had been singing along with many of the words, stopped singing when The Editors played a cover of "Stop me If You've Heard This Before" by The Smiths.

I'll just let the irony of that sink in naturally.
