Live Preview: Silversun Pickups w/ Sea Wolf

Tonight at the Ogden, Silversun Pickups return to Denver. My only complaint seeing them open for Viva Voce last year was that I wanted to see them a) headline and b) in a larger venue. Sometimes wishes come true!

Julio at Cause=Time kindly posted some mp3s, get ready!
Silversun Pickups - Lazy Eye
Sea Wolf - You're a Wolf

And see you at pre-show dinner!
