Wes Leavins: The last year has been so busy it’s hard to pick one favorite moment, however, our gig in London at All Points East comes to mind. Also on the bill were The Strokes and Angel Olsen and during our set the rain came down so hard.

We were playing “The Future is Our Way Out” and not only did everyone stick around, but they embraced the rain — I could tell how much it elevated the experience for everyone.

I know our sold-out show with the Last Dinner Party at the El Rey will also join the ranks of our favorite moments very soon.
