Prior to the MC Chris show (see below) I was at the Lambchop show down the road. (I do have some taste).
The Lambchop contingent was somewhat reduced from the 15 or so member line up - just Kurt, drums, keys and a few guitars. There were, however, augmented by the Tosca string quartet. Tosca, if you are not familiar, is a hip classical act from Austin - most noted for doing the soundtrack to Waking Life.
Kurt was as animated as I've seen him live - the mostly mellow tunes were a bit amped up as well. It was very cool to hear the addition of strings to the old and new songs - a layer of acoustic texture was a welcome addition.

Also, the Tosca girls were David Byrne's backing band on his last tour.

Tosca shreds. They did some cool tango stuff with Byrne when I saw them.
