Having already toured Europe and all over the States, you'd think Cold War Kids were crazy to do it all again and so soon, but what the hell – we're glad they are. We missed their last shows in June and again last month, both at the Crocodile, so to have them back in Seattle again, well, we're the lucky ones. The Futureheads were supposed to headline Wednesday's show, but due to the guitarist's......
