Many in the U.S. will remember James for a single song, “Laid” – with its dryly funny, gender-bending video -- which came out on the Brian Eno-produced album of the same name in 1993. The British pop band continued on throughout the '90s, putting out a slew of other fine records. But after 1999's Millionaires failed to live up to expectations, and 2001's Eno-produced Pleased To Meet You didn't seem to recapture the band's early magic, James began to fracture and singer Tim Booth went on to pursue a solo career.

After an extended hiatus, Booth rejoined James in 2007, and the band has now put out four releases since that time. The most recent, this summer's La Petite Mort, is band's best in some time. Booth's mother died while the band was working on new material, and that certainly has informed the themes that run throughout. That's especially true of the song "Moving On" -- a poignant rumination on death, but also a life-affirming anthem that shows off Booth's still-remarkable voice.

Set List:

• "Moving On"
• "Walk Like You"
• "Out To Get You"
