Young the Giant came to San Diego on Tuesday to perform the first of two sold-out nights at House of Blues.

The show was part of Young the Giant’s current tour in support of their new album, Home Of The Strange. They kicked off their rockin’ set with a pair of songs from that release — “Jungle Youth” and “Something To Believe In.”

The crowd really got going and sang along when they played “Cough Syrup,” from Young the Giant’s eponymous 2010 breakout album. The first song during their encore was “Amerika,” which is the based on the title of Franz Kafka’s unfinished book of the same name.

Ra Ra Riot served as the night’s opening act.
