The sting of kicking yourself in the ass is different than if someone else does it for you. It hurts more and last longer, especially after missing a concert from one of your favorite UK bands. premiered
So in one sense, thank goodness for YouTube; at least anyone can see parts of a concert they missed - which would have never been possible five years ago.
On Feb. 8th the UK 'goth rockers' Editors played at the Warfield in San Francisco to a sold out crowd. Not only do I love going to the Warfield, but the band was debuting new material that they hadn't played at their last San Francisco gig last September.
Here's a clip from the show of the Editors playing their yet-to-be-released single "Push Your Head Towards The Air" :
View the official music video set to be released as the band's next single in the U.K. on March 3. It's an interesting new approach to most of their previous work, relying heavily on the piano keys and voice of , stripped away from the hard-driving, escalating chord progressions and Interpol-like gothic percussions.
The band opened the show with "Camera," surprising some fans who didn't think they would play it all. Here's the band playing one of the last songs of the night, "Lights":

Editors Wrap Up Successful U.S. Tour; Launch European Tour on Heels of Hit Singles
Monday, October 15, 2007
In the U.S., fans of the neo-post goth rockers Editors are still reeling from the band's successful 2007 summer tour and the release of the critically-acclaimed CD An End Has a Start.On the last leg of the Editors' extensive North American tour, the band did not show the wear and tear that months on the road playing gigs, doing interviews, attending functions, etc. can do to a band.
In fact, they were in top form during their sold out show on September 20, 2007 at the historic Fillmore in San Francisco. No wonder they have been so quickly dubbed one of the best bands to ever come out of the U.K. Hopefully, they'll catch on in the U.S. but Editors' fan base is by no question much bigger in the U.K. and Europe.
Here's a video sample of "Open Your Arms" from the Fillmore show...
...and Editors performing "Lights" at Fillmore:
After their blazing San Francisco gig, the band rested up in the city for the weekend before heading off to Los Angeles for their final show in the U.S.
But the break was brief, especially considering the band has been on tour almost constantly since their huge splash on to the music scene in the U.K. in 2005.
Editors kicked-off their third concert tour of shows for the year last week at The Academy in Bristol.
If you get the chance, see Editors live; they love and expound energy with a mix of goth-like darkness and melancholy. And for all the folks that think Editors sound like Interpol or Joy Division, check out a number of their live concert videos, or listen and download to Editors' MP3s on the web, to see that these lads have a sound all their own.
