lol it's pretty dumb. But you really shouldn't skip out on the album because of that. You might really love it (not good at sarcasm btw).
lol That's a bit silly. It's pronounced Churches, it's just spelt like that so they're easy to find on internet searches. Your loss.

Lucky! Their show here in LA on the 18th has been sold out for awhile
It said the event was sold out on the site for the venue. Hoping that they had wheelchair accessible seats (for my girlfriend) available, I requested them. They had tickets for us in an hour.

Just saw them last night in Oakland. They're definitely great live!
Sorry to hear about the above poster's car getting broken into. I always have the fear that I'm going to see broken glass around my car after concerts.

Solution: make new friends @ the show
Sounds reasonable to me.
Bah.. I just checked and they don't have anything planned for Boston. One day maybe
Trust me, it's easy to have fun at a concert alone. Talk to people, dance with people, and maybe establish connections. I almost prefer it to going with friends now, honestly. I wouldn't have thought so a year ago, but I've gone to quite a few in the past 6 months and it's great.
Try it out one day.
Answered my own question by looking at the venue's twitter from their Oakland stop.
Basecamp is their opener and is about a standard ~1 hour set.

Thanks. I guess I should've parked in a garage. I couldn't even get mad though, the show was amazing. I just cleared the glass and started driving home, bumpin' CHVRCHES. My GF even thought I was crazy for not getting upset.
Saw them at The Wiltern last night! They were terrific. Really likable and Lauren sounds great live. She talked in between and was funny/cute. The guy singer brought a lot of energy even though his voice live doesn't transition well. I will definitely be seeing them again when they tour. Great venue too.
Couple side notes. Second time I've gone to a concert in downtown LA/Hollywood. Second time most of the crowd just stands around. The pocket I was in danced quite a bit, and I always do. Frustrating though. I usually go in OC/SD and they are preferable I think.
Funnily enough, like the sca above me I had car troubles. I was hanging out with some friends I met while waiting to meet the band. Lost track of time and the garage was locked with my car in it. I had to go all around LA before finding a place to stay. DIDNT EVEN MEET LAUREN.
Awesome time though.

She was wearing a ring in a recent performance, some person commented on it on Facebook, and they replied (nicely but curtly) that he should mind his own business. So, it sounds like she's taken, sorry! I'm sure your love would transcend borders and vows, though!

I've really enjoyed their covers so far. The Prince cover was great the first time I saw them live!

It's a pretty solid album. Easily 7.5 out of 10.

You are basically saying one half of the album is 10/10 and the other half is 9/10. It's really good, but that's a stretch.

Especially with Under the Tide and You Caught the Light being on the album. It's like when Adam Miller sings on Chromatics tracks. Fuck outta here.
People don't like Under the Tide and You Caught the Light?
Sounds reasonable to me.

I'll go with you if they ever come to Boston.

OK, 9/10 and no lower. For me this is one of those rare albums that has no must-skip tracks, with well over half being good enough for a permanent place on my playlist.

Bela Lugosi's Dead (Bauhaus Cover)
What movie soundtrack it's from is not important. Let's not even bring it up shall we.

lttp but Under the Tide was the most energetic song they played live. the singer like... slid around the stage with his dance. it was mesmerizing. and awesome. i've liked that song a lot more after hearing it live
not bad, not bad, but I don't actually like the original song that much and this isn't too different. chvrches generally have the raddest covers.
Totally feel the same. I remember seeing them the first time back in early 2013 and UtT was probably my favorite part of their set. It's a really fantastic song, and the energy is totally different live compared to the album version, in a great way.
Having seen them live twice now I can once again confirm that Martin's performance is still the highlight of the show. I understand people's reservations with the song itself, but it really is something that needs to be experienced live. The crowd just goes absolutely crazy once he got into his zone.
I like the cover, a sort of different take on the original song. More lively and upbeat, but that could be due to me liking the melody.
When I saw them in concert and saw Martin dancing wildly during Under the Tide, I was sort of shocked. Lauren didn't really move around much during the show, then all of a sudden Martin comes on and bam, crazayyy.

I loved their Arctic Monkey cover.
EDIT: Yeahhhh. I don't think Lorde's vocals work with the lead singers. Also, the mixing is weird (the guys vocals are too low).
