Stubs: # 63 – Fleet Foxes, Wellington, 2012

Fleet Foxes – strange band. Saw them after that first album in a packed gig and it was pretty wonderful. One of those one-off things, you know you saw the band at the right time; they weren’t ever going to beat that. I couldn’t say I was ever a massive fan but, live, the harmonies […]
