West Coast Wrap-up & Homecoming Show in NYC
We’re back from the West Coast! Here’s some video footage of us performing on Good Day LA. We were thrilled to share this morning television segment with a gallery of esteemed street artists who, like us, had journeyed cross-country for their West Coast debut.
Seattle was perhaps the highlight of the tour. The venerable KEXP hosted us for an interview where we performed 4 songs live-in-the-studio . The radio station captured some great photos of our visit as well.
To celebrate our return to New York City, we’re playing a show at Pianos on Thursday June 9th. We hit the stage at 9:30PM. Mark your calendars and be there to welcome us home!
