"Mystery Jets caused a riot in Mexico when playing their first-ever gigs in the country last week.From Mexico the Mystery Jets moved north until they reached NYC where they played Bowery Ballroom last night (2/24). There were no riots, but Kyle said it was fun and that he really liked opening band The Dig. More pictures and the MJ setlist below...The London-based band said they were unaware they had such a devoted fan base in the Latin American country until they arrived there.
"We didn't know what to expect because none of us had ever been there," frontman Blaine Harrison told NME.COM. "But we had a really good turn out for our shows. We also played a live radio station gig in Mexico City that turned into a bit of a riot," he said, explaining that fans who had bought tickets for previous cancelled shows turned en masse up to see them perform.
"People had scanned our photos from the internet and put them on their T-shirts," Harrison said. "They're quite obsessive down there.""

I think their song 'Young Love' is awesome, just can't get into anything else by them though. The other songs kind of sound like bad 80's music.

They played Dennis? Wtf when I saw them they said they killed that song. Bullshit.

I was there to see the Mystery Jets and they wre great. . . but I was seriously blown away by the opening act, The Dig. Who the fuck are thes guys. . . it was bad ass rock 'n' roll. . .

"im not sure what 'te odio' and 'chinga tus madres y tus guitarras aburridas,' but man, the energy was amazing!"

I agree with Chris. Mystery Jets were great but The Dig were the surprise of the night. Gotta go see these guys again when they play nyc next. Tight band with strong songs and they really got the crowd going.

The dig was awful

the dig was average...at best

chris had it right. The Dig were amazing. I was totally blown away. So refreshing to hear some good music come from an opener band.

Listen all you lobster backs I dont know what all this Mystery Jets/The Dig bullshit is all about but I suggest you all do yourself a favor and check out The Knoits. Take it from me, Break Beat Bernie. . .
Posted by Break Beat Bernie | February 25, 2009 10:35 PM
The Dig is the hottest band Ive heard recently in NYC. But I didnt know the Knoits were back on tour.
