Enjoy Saturday night’s performance below. Read my review of the gig here.

MP3: Japandroids – Young Hearts Spark Fire

The debut full-length from Japandroids may be titled Post-Nothing but I’d probably classify the boisterous Canadian duo as ‘post everything’. Melding together the best elements from the worlds of punk, noise, garage & shoegaze, Japandroids are tremendous in every sense of the word. Last night’s hour long set proved that they’re more than worthy of the sea of buzz that they’ve generated over the past few months. Enter to win a pair of tickets to see Japandroids @ Seattle’s Capitol Hill Block Party here. Japandroids recently dropped by KEXP. Be sure to visit Japandroids at their MySpace page.
