Saw them open for White Denim last night. They really brought it. They closed with the song above and killed it. Last five minutes of that clip (from a previous show, not from mine) are especially good.
I thought some of you might be interested since they are on the Forecastle bill.
I saw them last night with White Denim too and they killed it. Great opener.
These guys were my number one find in my drunken Forecastle lineup research last night. Can't wait to see 'em!

they were real good at the philly show. Crowd liked them a lot, but than again I think they said they were from the area?
I saw them Saturday night. For such a young band they have talent. I also loved the mumbled stage banter
Just heard Funeral Beds on a SXSW radio review show. I like their sound.
they are originally from Lititz PA which is a cool small town just outside Lancaster PA, maybe 75 miles from Philly...where they all live now. signed to Fat Possum Records, booked by a SERIOUS agent who will have them playing the role of road-dogs from years to come!

oh yes i thought they said they were from PA. :cool: About an hour away from me.
The word Philly was the only thing I could decipher when the lead singer talked.
anyone go to this or hear about this secret show in philly the other week?

I was gonna go to the Philly show but found out it is sold out. I honestly didn't think it would sell out. was gonna pick up a ticket at the door. :embarrassed:
Might be able to find one as it gets closer though hopefully.
These guys killed it at Bowery Ballroom Tuesday, and did this yesterday:

didn't try and go to either show. Weather was bad around here plus i'm fighting a cold and didn't want to stand out in the freezing weather hoping someone was selling a ticket. :embarrassed:
Telephone is getting a vinyl pressing :thumbsup:

Caught these guys at a tiny little club gig in Brighton last night. The venue wasn't even full so <500 people but the crowd was electric and these guys are great live! Some great moments that seemed improvised too. The end of "Sidecar" had everyone in a trance and the crowd were ALL dancing to "Cheap Regrets" - which I similarly feel was extended when the band realised how into it the crowd was. A new song called "Outlaw Love" was also extremely well received. Been listening to them all day today!
10/10 - totally recommend this band! Great fun
