This Fall marks a decade of knowing they're my favourite band. It only took Green Gloves as a lonely 16 year old hunkered under my blanket. Now I'm 26 and all the new songs give me frissoning shivers like the old ones did and do.
I saw them in Leeds the other week. They were amazing… It was so lovely to have the experience of Matt mingling with the crowd and involving everyone even those at the back as he launched himself into it when the urge took him. What a lovely guy! Can’t wait to see them again. And they didn’t half get through some tracks. Very impressive and memorable for all the right reasons. .
Great performance in Leeds by the whole band. Matt was in the crowd at least 3 times going right to the back of the floor on a few occasions and always interacting with the fans at the front row. He is simply a legendary frontman.
