This video makes the gig look and sound much better than I remember from where I was in the room. The singer’s brittle falsetto walks the line between endearing and faltering. Love the tune anyhow and looking forward to hearing Manners and I might check them at SXSW (!!!!!).
I interviewed Hockey beforehand so there’ll be an interview up on State.ie soon as.
