These YouTube videos suggest we missed a theatrical (though relatively tame) stage show from KB's toy factory, but instead of peripheral quips about dancing buddhas or horsefeed, these gigs offer something more aurally substantial in the form of two new tunes: "Like A Tourist" (which got its debut a week ago in Chapel Hill) and "Coquet Coquet." They're both in the realm of the psychedelically lined freakout dance stuff Hissing Fauna... and Skeletal Lamping (maybe a little less manically fractured than Lamping at least), with lots of rock in the guitars (live, anyway) and a bona fide guitar hero moment for the Late B.P.

Like many Pitchfork readers-- guessing here-- I'm not too terribly familiar with Maroon 5 catalogue outside of a couple of the big radio hits.
