I have seen them a couple of times. The first time was at the Blue Highways Festival in 2011, when they just had 
one show in the Netherlands and only stayed 22 hours.
The second time was last year at In The Woods, a location I found very strange (seated,
well behaved, quiet audience). BJ told me how he loved playing at In The Woods and how he was looking
forward playing there again in a few days. Originaly I had tickets to see them there, but then a weekend in London
was planned to see Dave Alvin play there. As I didn't want to miss American Aquarium I quickly bought a ticket for the Paradiso.
 
First time for them to play the famous Paradiso in Amsterdam, the place where they belong.
It still was the smaller upstairs room, in the future I see them playing the large room.
Playing the small room had its advantages though: great sound, direct contact with the audience,
easy accesibility before and after the show. I even heard part of the soundcheck.

The only drawback was that the new album Wolves has not been released yet. On the other hand a good reason to come back soon.
