      I think I made a similar comment previously on one of their videos. I think if she was any more authentic we'd be listening between the clicks & pops of a 78 RPM record! They don't get anymore real than this gal!

    I'd stand in hot sun or pouring rain to hear these brilliant performers. Lovely Erika sitting on her huge bass drum in a simple print dress and bangs is a show in and of herself. Shayne is the stealth cornet player, so understated, yet pulls the whole sound into one perfect whole.

The imperfect photography, the people walking in front of the camera, the street noise, all of it, make me feel like I am there. Here is community at some of its best.
