Arthur & Yu took the stage after a bit of a delay playing a number of tracks off their self-titled Hardly Art debut. Though this kind of show isn’t common for Eugene, a group or two of people felt it wasn’t significant enough to shut up for. They powered through their set regardless, undoubtedly picking up a fan or two. 6 of them took the stage, but the center of it all lied in Sonja and Grant’s ability to really capture the crowd through smile and song.

Handsome Furs after the jump.

Arthur & Yu had already stole the show with their charisma, but when Handsome Furs took the stage they were welcome with hoots and hollers. Looking and sounding a great deal more aggressive than their album, Dan and Alexei commanded the crowd with a simple guitar and synth set up. A couple new songs and a mosh pit or two later, Handsome Furs called it quits. After the show Dan was bombarded with questions about the new Wolf Parade, which served as a good reminder why everyone was there.
