Great show by Teenage Fanclub with a great set list. The mix in the El Rey was quite bass heavy (both kick drum and bass guitar), and since the band now plays a lot of songs with clean guitars, the bass was overpowering at times. When they kicked in the overdrive, everything sounded great. Unfortunately a lot of the keyboard sounds were overpowered in the mix the whole time.
I haven't been to the El Rey for a while so I don't know if they typically crank the bass so much, or at least just recently.
Otherwise, the songs and harmony singing were fantastic. Highlights included: Sometimes I don't Need to Believe in Anything, Discolite, Ain't that Enough, Sparky's Dream, Don't Look Back, Starsign, the Concept, I Don't Want Control of You, I Need Direction, and many more. Go if you have the chance.
