After the swelter lifted off New York City, a cool rush of air blew in from the West last night, and with it came the freshest kids on the left side of the Mason Dixon: Seattle's own Smoosh graced Spin headquarters with their drum kit and keyboards and proceeded to rock SPINhouse Live No. 11.

Watch Camper Van Beethoven LIVE!
Spin and Camper Van Beethoven have several things in common: They both turn 20 this year, they're full of raucous rock'n'roll sentiment, and sometimes they enjoy a whiskey or two. Last night at Spin's New York headquarters, Camper Van Beethoven played to an intimate, adoring crowd of fans for SPINHouse Live's tenth installment.

Wearing a classic cowboy hat, lead singer David Lowery declared before CVB started their set, in true cowboy fashion, "We're too drunk to play" -- they'd already played a full set at Central Park's SummerStage earlier in the night.

Tegan and Sara Rock Spin House Live!
In the pantheon of desirable foreign accents, Canadian does not rank high. It is neither exotic nor particularly mellifluous. But Tegan and Sara’s Spinhouse live performance changed all that. Their set was nearly flawless, and their onstage banter, peppered with abooots and hosers, was so darling that for the first time in my life I wished that I had been born in a manger in Saskatoon.

The Calgary-born twin sisters played an acoustic set that brought down the Spinquarters with its bubbly simplicity. They kicked off a five-song performance with the fourth song off their latest album, So Jealous. The twisting, chirpy harmonies of Tegan and Sara in “I Know I Know I Know,” kept the audience rapt.
