Wolf Parade kicked off their latest tour on Friday @ The Dise, debuting new songs and tricking out old ones. It was a Friday night and the crowd was buzzed, so needless to say, I thoroughly enjoyed dancing around like a jackalope with my head cut off. I couldn’t tell you the names of the new stuff, but they played them smartly and got an excited response. The new junk seemed a little more refined, but more aggressive at the same time. They’re not as catchy, and they’re denser.
The NC State Wolf Parade rocked an encore, and ended on a charmingly chamberized “Dinner Bells”. They sounded pristine, thrashed around like puppets in our cruel game, and got my spring concert season’s ball rolling with a heave. Screw the other wolf bands. This is the only one, as far as I’m concerned.
