A Frames at Cake Shop
Once in a while you find a band which has one member whose energy on stage blows the rest of the band away. Try to guess which one. As for their music, some A Frames songs sound like 70s British punk. Others are more conceptual and remind me of John Cale in the Sabotage era if anything.
