In the group’s hour long set, the group mixed up their earlier material with new material for a set that found the group looking less like their new-wave peers, and a little more comfortable with themselves.

Led by Sam Endicott, the group launched into the bouncy track “Fearless” to start the set. Playing in front of a semi-major light show (a rarity for Magic Stick shows), the band kept the new wave sounds of the first record heavy in the first half. They played the haunting “Tyrant”, and the standout new track “Every Word is A Knife in My Ear”.

The band, including Endicott has ditched the asymmetrical haircuts and new wave clothes on this record; opting for a more casual sweaters and jeans look. Perhaps the group thought that they were trying too hard to rep the new wave style. But the new wave style of their record, which produced some of their best music such as the band’s debut single “An Honest Mistake”, was clearly evident.

The material from “The Sun and the Moon” bounces back and forth between the new wave style that garnered attention the first time around, and more of a Brit-pop style. With tracks such as the leadoff single “Time Wont Let Me Go” and “Believe”, the Bravery sounds a little closer to the borefests of Snow Patrol and Keane (in this reviewer's opinion).

The band seemed a little tipsy (to say the least) and seemed to have a good time with the show. They even dedicated one song to “the two girls making out by the stage”, and it took a few attempts to get that statement out . If The Bravery keep their new look and stick to their killer new wave sound, the band should be just fine and avoid sounding like Coldplay’s distant 12th cousin.
