The ever-winning War On Drugs had a comparatively quiet year this year compared to last and its superb album Slave Ambient.  The Philly band’s performance verve, however, continued unabated.   Check them out last night in Philly lighting up Bruce Springsteen’s telling The Ties That Bind.  Fitting and superb.  Can’t wait to catch their next tour through Cali.  After, check out their compelling wall of sound on Come To The City in April on Letterman (nice high-five between Paul Shaffer and keys-guy Robbie at end).
