    Fun story: I happened to be there at Chicago Music Exchange when they recorded this. It was April 23, 2018 and I was in the acoustic room checking out a vintage Martin when I heard this monstrous sound coming from the adjacent room where this was performed and filmed. I was blown away by the heavy swirling moodiness which reminded me of some of my favorite Siouxsie and the Banshees music from mid 80s to early 90s. Three months later when this video was posted I recognized this music from the 21 second clip I'd recorded on my phone and I've been a fan of this incredible band ever since. The whole Guidance album is outstanding. It's amazing how things come to you.
