The Box Social "Life During Wartime" (27.4 MB) (Talking Heads) The Annex Madison, WI July 31, 2008

OK, I've finally got these clips processed. I've been sitting on a lot of stuff from the recent Toadies show, in large part because my regular camera was out of juice and I had to use the crummy old one; as such, these videos don't look great, and also could sound better. But here they are nonetheless.

This show, incredibly, was packed from start to finish. Usually Madison shows, even for big touring acts, don't start filling up until halfway through the last opener's set, but there was a big crowd on hand for the Box Social to open the show with a smattering of new songs and a couple of their standard covers. This is one of a handful of shows they played around the region this summer, as high gas prices kept them off the road for the most part, but they've been writing new material and I'll be documenting their upcoming new demo sessions, so look out for that soon.
