terrible, they need a drummer asap.

im abit worried...cause record they sound great but what Ive heard live...they seem to LACK energy

Yes, that's really something to worry about. In this day in age, worrying about a bands energy really is paramount.

ya why doesn't this band have a drummer? hahaha

i was at the show, and I have to say although they aren't the perfect live band yet, they were MUCH better than they were at the knitting factory last november
i would like to see a live drummer too, even though it would most likely compromise the feel of the songs

Things I worry about: Global Warming. Bee death. Hurricanes. Clowns. Alien invasions. Zombie outbreaks. A Sarah Palin Presidency. Whether or not The Radio Dept. has good live energy.

takes more than a drummer to save this band...

They were so boring, I left after 2 songs.

We left after 2 songs and went to Johnny Rockets and tried to put 5ยข in the jukebox to play Brown-eyed Girl.

I loved their last album and thought their performance at the seaport sounded good, but they had absolutely zero stage presence or personality.

I don't think the Radio Dept cares if they look like they have "personalities" or that they have a drummer live for more energy.... Give the albums a closer listen... only the first album was recorded with a drummer. And which song have you heard that you can fist pump or rage to? This is a mellow band to say the least....
