Fresh off a full show in Colorado the night before, and directly on their way to rock the Teragram Ballroom, the five-piece gave us an intimate midday set for KCRW friends and fam. No interview, just a solid series of finely honed tunes including Cure The Jones highlights like “Go\od Love,” “Party For One,” and “Looking for Moses.” Plus, they broke out a few deep cuts including longtime KCRW favorite “This is the Day.” 

Because of the high level craft at work here, we’re presenting this in its entirety. Click into the audio player for the full experience, and check out the video for a visual feast of a highlight reel.
