Anyone who thought Las Vegas was a strange place to hold the Matador at 21 concert is probably unfamiliar with the Belle and Sebastian live experience.

Prior to ‘Piazza, New York Catcher,’ Murdoch produced a Whole Foods grocery bag full of day-glo mini footballs. “These are for the kids in the audience, though I doubt there’s anybody here under 45,” he cracked.
