Sleigh Bells puts on a great show. They come out full on and never let up. Derek even crowd surfed, and at one point let his guitar do some surfing on its own. The new tunes, especially, "Comeback Kid," (which is not one of my favorites) sounded so much better live. The guys are great. But, Alexis has such a pretty singing, powerful screaming, and extremely sexy speaking voice, that she easily steals the show. Yes, I have a bit of a crush. I only wish they would have played, "Crush," and some more from, Reign Of Terror. The show was a little short. That could have been because they split the bill with Araabmuzik. AM would have been better as a 20 minute opener. His act, though at times impressive, is too repetitive to carry half of the bill. The crowd was very supportive of AM and, of course, Crazy for SB. Columbus loves Sleigh Bells.

Favorite moment: When Alexis remembered the BoMa show and dedicated a song to those who went to that show. @
