Well, after seeing the video of For 12, last june, and listening to more songs of this band ,I was excited to know that they will be performing on mainstage at NMF5! This band is touring all over the world and I was glad they took time out to appear here , even tho they are from here, Stillwater exactly. Their music is so unique to me, vocal and indie acoustic, fokish, whatever you want to call it, it is done well. And now I wanted to see them all, in front of me , performing the songs I had only heard on the internet.
They sound like their cds, I mean Jesse's vox and the background vocals are all right on pitch and emoted just like the recordings we are used to hearing. There were technical glitches, where the sound completely cut out on stage, but they kept the show going and went on to deliver their most memorable songs in a most memorable way.
