MTV Live on Palladia

Here's the setlist: Underneath The Stars, The Only One, The Reasons Why, Freakshow, The Hungry Ghost, Switch, The Perfect Boy, Sleep When I'm Dead, The Scream, It's Over.
So they cut out Sirensong, Real Snow White, and THANWY.

And there was some very odd censoring going on: "I couldn't take all the censorship. Yes, backmasking an F-bomb I can understand. But "slide me in"??!?! "Suicide"??!?!"

(Thanks Brad, Drew, and S)

The Curse plays UTS and more

"Here's some video footage of The Curse playing Underneath the Stars. UTS Part 1 / UTS Part 2
They also did The Only One (security told me to stop filming, so it's only 44 seconds long), The Perfect Boy, and The Reasons Why (audio only). It was a great show."
