Moving on up the venue food chain, Birminghams Interpol sound-alikes (who do that type of dark, brooding romance better, IMHO) Editors finally make it to the Showbox after two gigs in as many years at a bursting Chop Suey. Now everybody can finally get a good view of lead vocalist Tom Smiths tortured genuflecting and the manic guitar mastery of Chris Urbanowicz, who tends toward U2-esque spirals of sound. So while I do suggest arriving early for your good view, I cant lend the same recommendation regarding these openers, both of whom I had no idea had a remaining fan base. RACHEL SHIMP
