It wasn't even down to the band's clever, though sensual musicianship, as an intangible energy held sway as the left-wing liberal proto punks barreled through two long punchy sets, as well as two passion-packed encores that included a new tune, ``13,'' and a stinging cover of the Wipers' ``Youth of America.''
