I will be seeing them for fourth time this Friday at Granada in Dallas and the fifth time at Bonnaroo. They are so much fun live. I saw them twice at sxsw last year as they were blowing up and their Beauty Bar show after ACL which was ridiculously packed and had bad sound problems. The granada show should be ridiculous to be followed by an ultimate Thursday night set.

Sleigh Bells set is pretty well polished now. They played at Granada on Friday with CSS and rocked the house. Maybe 1/3 of the people at the show left after Sleigh Bells before CSS came on. Those were people were stupid, CSS kicked as much ass if not more.
Here is my video of Riot Rhyth, got some good Alexis in your face footage.

35 minutes. Short sweet and loud. Definitely my favorite set out of the 4 times I have seen them. My only complaint is that Granada is a long skinny venue and people get herded into different levels, when it would be a huge crowd up close otherwise.
Besides that, they are on their a-game. Gonna be so much fun Thursday at Roo. The jersey is for sale at the show, it says bells on front and slay on the back. $50, I just bought the new vinyl and a CSS shirt after getting to meet CSS.

I like CSS, and was really excited to see them at Ultra. It seemed like it had the potential to be a really fun show. And it was easiest the worst set of the weekend. Maybe it was the fact that it was daytime and really hot. But they sounded horrible, had terrible stage precense, and I just felt their song selection was terrible. They played hardly any I was excited to hear. Wish I could give them a chance at redemption but they're not allowed to play with Sleigh Bells in miami this weekend because of Ultra's exclusivity contract...
yeah, i didn't catch CSS @ coachella, but they did pretty good opening up for sleigh bells. granted it was a very small venue and most people sound good in tiny spaces.

Saw Sleigh Bells last night and they were awesome- they had the whole place jumpin. They even played a new song. It was really good, and could have fit right in with the rest of 'Treats'. Still hoping they develop a more 'live' set in the future, but they kicked all kinds of ass nonetheless with their current setup.

saw them last night (5/11) in NYC. The crowd energy was awesome, which can always make or break a show. i was like 2-3 people away from the stage nearly the entire set. the guitarist wasn't on stage the whole time so idk what that was about, technical or digestive problems perhaps? i honestly didnt even notice though and a firend pointed it out to me afterward. i was fixated on alexis the entire time pretty much. soo hot and i felt like she made that stage her own. the people from december who were saying they needed to work on the live show - i must say Sleigh Bells has stepped it up in a huge way.
they rocketed up to my must see list on the farm barring only a major MAJOR overlap issue.
5 stars. A+++ seller. looking forward to doing business again
