TMWR's front man usually plays at the Mix. The Mix is a little bar off North Saint Mary's "strip". A place where local comic celebrity Mitch Clem used to frequent. (he would hang out there before I was old enough to go in there. 21+ only)
Anyway following In Beds with an "English" electro-feel vibe was an interesting pairing on the bands choice. but the crowd really enjoyed the songs and both bands. Most of the crowd were familiar with much of the songs TMWR were playing.
Slow, which most of the songs came off of, was released in 2006 and given away as free prizes for people showing up to their set. So as the crowd swayed and sang along TMWR played 10 songs, which is a bit unusual for one set at a bar. and although I did not notice at the time I would not be surprised if those 10 songs were the 10 songs off the album, Slow. just out of order. or maybe it was in order.
Anyway Slow has 10 tracks, some up beat and others eerly depressing, such as "Double" which is track 3 but it is followed by their more nu wave, electro, she was revenge, 90's motif. Then somewhere toward the end of the CD a song called Flipped is about nearly every girl that has ever frequented that bar. Drunk girl going home with random guy kind of song. Then Tracers which shows a more 70's punk side then wrapped up with Slow, the title song. which was really drawn out, should be on Donnie Darko, the Party Scene, really Air sounding. probably my least favorite.
