The Psychic Paramount at LaGrange

Of all the shows I can barely remember seeing, the Psychic Paramount at Emo's roughly five years ago somehow stands out. It wasn't some barn-burner of a show, just a random night where the band was so unbelievably on, it made you clutch your beer a little tighter and wonder...

Last year's II doesn't trifle with the loud-quiet-loud formula, though; it's a hair dryer on full blast. Eyes, Wings & Many Other Things and the Black Dotz open.
