Ok, about Taking Back Sunday...
I saw them in St. Louis the other week, and frankly, I wasn't impressed with their performance as a whole. Their stage presence was ok, but the music they played wasn't all that great. The lead singer was so busy swinging his microphone around that he wasn't concentrating on singing the right notes, and their bass player just sort of stood there most of the time. Their drummer wasn't as good as I thought he'd be, and was wearing an Ecko jersey t-shirt (???).
I thought Saves the Day was much better musically. Their performance wasn't anything special, but then again, how many times can you thrash around and it still be cool?
On the other hand, I saw Rufio and Mae today in St. Louis (like two hours ago from now) and enjoyed their performances quite a bit. Just a difference in taste, I suppose.
