After taking the wrong exit (hey, it's been a while...) and being directed by a friendly Cleveland hipster buying beer at the local convenience store, we arrived at the Beachland Ballroom seemingly just in time to get tickets to see Wolf Parade. The opening band, whose name escapes me at the moment, was from Japan and played a miscellaneous assortment of songs ranging in genre from post rock to punk to something almost like country. Toward the end of the set the singer started learning English from the crowd, though unfortunately he could not also learn to sing in that short a time.
After a typically long set break, Wolf Parade arrived and played a reasonably good list of songs, though I thought the new ones were not quite as good, and the old ones had lost their "polish," if Wolf Parade has such a feature. Luckily they played "Kissing the Beehive" which probably sounded about as good as it did last time.
