Regarding Generaltionals, their debut Con Law is their best in my opinion, I haven't been able to get into anything else they've done since. The song "Salt City" on the latest EP Lucky Numbers is good but the rest is crap IMO.

I like Django Django - psychedelic art pop (spotify description)-- right up my alley. Thanks.

So I need a little help from you guys. Long story short - who are the awesomest live acts out there that are: reasonably accessible, mediumishly popular, and super energetic/fun?

i mostly like melancolic stuff, like radiohead, feist, and etc. really like female vocals (more mellow), especially stuff like regina spektor, fiona apple, st vincent, cat power and bat for lashes

any ideas

[klipers]

My favorite ones are these:
Arcade Fire, The National, The Woods, Pyrrhura, Bombay Bicycle Club, Interpol, Tame Impala, ...

I love Bombay Bicycle Club. So few people, I know, know who are they are. They just recently toured(touring?) the US, so maybe more people have had the chance to hear them.
