I was on the verge of not going to see this show because it was at La Zona Rosa, my most dreaded of venues, but I couldn't neglect the fact that I have been listening to their latest album Fantasies to the point that the mp3s are skipping.  I'm particularly fond of the last song, Stadium Love which pits various animals, people and celestial beings against each other in a stadium...of love?  I don't know, I just know that I've been a fan of the random battle idea every since I read Bear v. Shark and bought my Tesla v. Edison t-shirt from hovercraft! on Congress.

So the show itself was a blast and the band did everything right.  Emily Haines did some rocking jazzercise (rockercise??) moves that had me bouncing in my crowded space.  I even gave the moves names: I call the first one the crazy-leg-planted-neck-swing (see fig. 1) and the second the mid-air-swan-dive-head-bang (see fig. 2).  She also genuinely seemed impressed with Austin and our musical prowesses and pandered to us proficiently (unintended alliteration bitches!).  She ended the show with an acoustic, slowed down rendition of Combat Baby with guitarist James Shaw that got the entire crowd singing in unison.  We indeed "know our shit" Emily, thanks for the awesome show, next time come to a better venue, we've got a few to choose from.
