I've seen them twice, once while linkous was in a wheelchair when the first album came out...awful

Saw them again at the bowery ballroom after Its A Wonderful Life came out...equally awful.

Boring, no stage presence, don't waste your money.

I thought they were alright on the It's a Wonderful Life tour.

But I don't really remember that show very well. Pretty hazy.

Looks like me and jagged will be seeing this show on 2/3 with a very special Obner guest. I've never heard a lick of Sparklehorse, though, so could someone YSIPLSKTHX their back catalog to me?

saw these guys tonight on a whim.
previous assessments are correct.
no stage presence or signs of life.
plus an extremely short set.
but i got to fingerbang the bartender.
so it's all good.

you see, this is why people go to shows even when they may not live up to expectations. if someone's (finger)banging a bartender at every awful show, then the promise is always there that even an awful show could have an upside.
