My first thought about this band ironically is the name of the opening band. "Yawn."

Youth Lagoon

The Year of Hibernation is one of my favorite albums of the year. It's very mellow, like put you to sleep mellow, so I'm interested to see how this translates live.

Spineshank

This must be a reunion, because I don't remember hearing anything about this band in ten years. I USED TO LOVE SPINESHANK! They do a pretty hilarious cover of, "While My Guitar Gently Weeps," that is actually kind of awesome. You should probably youtube it now.
