The second half presents \u003ci\u003eMeeting People Is Easy\u003c\/i\u003e, featuring 'Naive,' 'She's a Gun,' 'Someone Else,' 'Dancing to Nothing at All' and 'BBC,' further developing the band's blend of infectious melodies, guitar-driven indie pop and introspective lyrics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFormed while its members were still in high school, The Greeting Committee grew from a young Kansas City band into a nationally touring act with an intensely devoted audience.
