I hadn't been intimately familiar with We Are Scientists' work before the show, having only really heard "Nobody Move, Nobody Get Hurt" and "After Hours", but I went in with a fairly open mind. And from my limited experience with the band, I'd have to say that their sound made a very nice transition to the acoustic format. The band was energetic and lively, and the banter between vocalist Keith Murray and bassist Chris Cain was mildly amusing.
I didn't think to write down the setlist, but I know that both "After Hours" and "Nobody Move" were featured. The whole thing was pretty last minute and spur of the moment, but given as such, was quite successful.
Here's a pretty good quality video of (part of) the set that I found on YouTube. Enjoy!

Man, that sounds fucking great with the steel guitar. If they were to re-release their first album all acoustic with the steel guitar, I'd re buy it. Gave me a bit of a Wilco feeling.
