Acidjack reports:
“This Kentucky band rolled into New York City with swagger, first selling out the Mercury Lounge on Friday night, and then following that up with an epic show at Union Hall in Park Slope, Brooklyn. The band kicked off the night with an acoustic set, preceded by the folk duo Vandaveer. After a break, Brooklyn standouts Motel Motel played an opening set, followed by These United States and a blistering electric set played to a smaller but very excited crowd. The band played classics from both their current albums as well as new songs from their forthcoming album, Everything Touches Everything. Only one song is repeated out of the two sets. Thanks to These United States, their management, and Union Hall for permitting us to record this fine performance from an optimum spot in the venue.”
This recording was captured from the prime location in this venue and the sound quality is outstanding.
