Biz Session June 2013 (audio/video)

Recorded as part of Biz Sessions (a venue they first appeared at back in 2010), here's Tom, Russell and Justin performing A Ton Of Love and Nothing acoustically. You also get Tom doing a solo-piano version of Springsteen's Dancing in the Dark. It was originally posted as 3 separate clips, but I've joined 'em up to make the watching a little easier.

Nothing bears a slight resemblance to No Sound But The Wind, in that there are more than one distinct versions to cite as a preference if you choose to. With NSBTW it could be either the full band electric performance or the Twilight Soundtrack/Werchter/Violence slow take. Nothing, on the other hand has the acoustic take, the oh-so-terribly controversial Clint Mansell string version from TWOYL and the full band electric wrecking ball that they swing at the crowds as a 5 piece. Even here, you can sense that pent up energy it possesses which has made it such a live treat.
 
Enjoy the music ;)
