The Wombats - Photos from The Annex, NYC 8/15/07

I thought The Wombats' show last night at the Annex was fabulous. The club was packed and I read on NME that the show sold out. The band was "on" and played a hot 50 minute set. I don't know all of the band's material so I couldn't put together a set list but I recognized "Acapella/Girls, Boys And Marsupials", "Kill the Director", "Backfire at the Disco", "Moving to New York" and "Let's Dance to Joy Division". The band played about 10 songs in total.

The band is a lot of fun live and are almost certain to be playing bigger rooms during their next trip to town.

The band started the set with an acapella number
