Papa Was a Rodeo, Mama Was a Rock n Roll Band
The Magnetic Fields closed with that song. Before that they played about 25 songs, including Reno Dakota, The Book of Love, and most of the new album. And yes, even though they seem to specialize in "non-rock" venues, they did have a merch table and shirts.
Stephin Merritt is exceedingly short. Claudia is charming and did most of the talking, with Mr Merritt making snide side comments and corrections. The other two guys (I'm sorry, I don't know their names) were quiet but played very very well. There were no synths, no drums, no extra singers. It was all very dignified. Except that between song banter was mostly about tiki bars.

Those guys are Sam & John. If I remember correctly Stephin sometimes refers to them as the marble lions, because they are like the lions next to big libraries that just sit there and never move.
