MTV2

finally caught jane's addiction at the mtv2 5th birthday thing... you can kind of tell they were the only band who've been around for ages as they're lacking in the The department:
the rapture
the thrills

same w the music.
the darkness do the jokerock thing well, crowd loved it, like the cult with a sense of humour.
