Excellent band and very good folk songs, stunning performance! Very quiet and attentive audience (fortunately).

Second time I saw them performing, again at Flèche d'Or. First time was in May. Just seeing them makes me smile, I don't know why... The same good performance as the last time, but still not the kind of music I usually listen to. I enjoyed the songs 'Helplessly Young' and 'Internet Warrior'.

 

Did you notice the little cuddly toy behind the keyboard player?

I really like the last two songs they played. I guess there was the song 'Deep Dive' in the last two ones. Their songs are quite similar, but their performance was ok. Many hands gestures from the lead singer.
