Enter the rain…a light drizzle will you…The New Pornographers took the stage right on schedule and jumped right into a new song of their upcoming Challengers LP. They seamlessly move in and out of their entire repertoire while engaging in some witty on stage banter and throwing out Warriors quotes and claiming that “god bless
