Sparklehorse 9.9.06

So my details are a bit rusty on Sparklehorse, but here's what I've got: These guys, led by Mark Linkous, are (to borrow a popular t-shirt slogan)huge in Europe, and we at the Eagle were lucky enough to have them on one of their six (or so) American dates before heading overseas. All in attendance seemed impressed by their short yet superb set of sad-beautiful-pop-electro-boom-bang-boom-retro-mod-melancholy sound. Appropriately, the photo below was taken during the catchy number "Don't Take My Sunshine Away."
