Eh, I thought they had better shows. I didn't like the DJ for Lightning 100. I enjoyed How I Became The Bomb not so much The Privates. That's my 2 Cents.

I had a good time. It was great to hear "SEE YOU THROUGH," "Walk You Home," and "Action" for the first time in eons.

How I Became the Bomb did not disappoint either. I wish they could have played longer though. I told RD that the show was over after they finished, but the Features proved me wrong again.

Great show, who has a setlist? I know that the untitled song from Tucker is now named "Complication." "Lions Dressed in Leather" and "Now You Know" were both played, as was a new song which I think is called "Wooden Heart." "I Will Wander" and "Drawing Board" continued their heavy rotation and it appears that "Arcata" is going the way of "Harder to Ignore." "Walk You Home," "See You Through" and "Action" all made welcome returns...and "Two By Two" was played.

I'm glad I finally saw How I Became the Bomb. I really do not like them...at all.

"Drawing Board" is becoming a favorite very quickly. It was really nice to hear "Action" and "Walk You Home". But, no "Darkroom"...??? Way too many shows in a row without my favorite song. That makes me very angry and worried. I deduct a few points from this show because "Two by Two" was played, and they closed with "Idea of Growing Old". Otherwise, it was a great show.

this show was okay.

the privates were good. some songs from the ep that i liked less i liked a lot more live. a few of the new songs i thought were a little hard to get into, but will probably enjoy them more when i hear them a few more times.

how i became the bomb was great. i need that album soon. that hot lead singer let me try on his shoes after the show.

the features put on a really good show but the crowd brought me down. why was no one having a lot of fun? those new songs are tight.

These are as many of the songs as I can remember. Aside from the first 3 and the last 3, they are not in order.

circus
the way it's meant to be
exorcising demons
now you know
concrete
the drawing board
me and the skirts
i will wander
exhibit a
complication
lions dressed in leather
see you through
leave it all behind
blow it out
walk you home
two by two
a million ways to sing the blues
foundation's cracked
the gates of hell
mosis tosis
thursday
*NEW SONG?

ENCORE
action
hold you alone
the idea of growing old

I thought all three bands were great, though The Privates needed to be turned up louder. I kinda found myself a bit disinterested with the Exhibit A songs, but I liked hearing some older stuff, and really love the new stuff. The band sounded great all around.

I can't wait for the new albums from all three.

That's starting to become my sentiment. Aside from "Circus" "TWIMTB" and, for the most part, "Million Ways," I found myself starting to sleep walk through some of the songs. I've heard "Demons," "Skirts," and "Exhibit A" so many times now...I guess that's the curse when you see a band upwards of 50 times. But really, not playing a song rekindles the love. "See You Thru" was definitely a highlight only because it's been absent for a while, "Action" as well, a song that I was always eh about.

I love Features shows because of the new material, which shows how strong the Features are right now.

Too funny man! I'm sitting here thinking the same thing. It's amazing how desperate for info one gets when they can no longer go see the band on a whim.

Yes, it's a sad, sad life we lead, my friend.

Not everyone in How I Became the Bomb looked as if they were playing in the same band.
remember that its all in your head.
