Chairlift really love Barack Obama. Of all the shows they've played, including dates MGMT and Peter Bjorn and John, a 30-person show in West Virginia, back in November, was their favorite. (Of course, this doesn't include their upcoming tour with the Killers.)

Keyboardist and singer Caroline Polachek said they broke half-way through their set to watch President Obama's victory speech.

"We opened the set with the National Anthem," she added. "It was a wonderful thing to experience," drummer Patrick Wimberly chimed.

Add another experience to that list of wonderful: the re-release of the band's debut album, 'Does You Inspire You,' following the success of their song 'Bruises,' courtesy of an iPod commercial. Not bad for a band who, as they told us, first created music fit for a haunted house.
