Well, I only really made it for two bands, Ted Leo and Calexico, but it was worth it. Ted Leo was spry and energetic, playing mostly new stuff that sounded a lot like the old stuff. "Where Have All the Rude Boys Gone" was the definite highlight of the Ted Leo set. I'm bummed there wasn't any blood this time though.
Calexico closed out Sunday night and played a great set featuring every song I would have wanted to them to playing, including a jammed-out version of "Not Even Stevie Nicks," "Sunken Waltz," a passionate and awesome "All Systems Red," and perennial crowd favorite "Alone Again Or." Singer Joey Burns voice is so just smooth, could listen to it all day.
My pics of the event are pretty poor do to the fact it was dark and I was too lazy to try to get much closer. I hit up the Zero 7/Jose Gonzalez show Saturday night as well; pictures are up on the photoblog but limited as well for the same reasons as Touch and Go.

Here is a little bit of video from Zero 7 with Sia being the silly sassy lady that she is.

Nice review. Nice to hear something positive about Calexico for a change.
Ted Leo is also cool!
