This stellar four piece band right here comes straight from New York City, a place already full of wonderful artists such as LAUNDRY DAY, Quarters of Change, and SAMSARA. They are on a full North America Tour this Spring in support of their Sophomore Record Titled "The Thing Is"
Stopping by at the gorgeous Castoro Cellars in Templeton, CA, The Thing set up a four song set that delivered nothing but fiery smiles, unforgettable hooks and an Iconic Performance. Jam In The Van provided the platform and continues to do that by being a touring studio that captures brilliant performances from all types of artists and favorites such as The Black Keys, Mt. Joy & Much more.
The group has a history of killer influences that has set them apart from every other band in the room. Trying to get overseas and push more music, The Thing delivers with their newest record on tracks such as "You're The One" and "Neptune".
Those two tracks are singles off of their newest record emerging with some of the best energy out right now. The band also played two more tracks with one being track 3 off of the new record "I Wanna Go To The City".
The Thing Is Artwork; Jack Bradley (lead guitar), Zane Acord (lead singer and bass), Lucas Ebeling (drums) and Michael Carter (rhythm guitar).
Closing out the Cellar set, "Right Where You Need To Be" off of their Debut LP, "Here's the Thing" was a peak moment of the set. This is a taste of what to expect from the live shows that The Thing will bringing to the world for not just this season but years to come.
As DDCT*R is a worldwide station based in Houston, we were offered the chance in supporting The Thing on their date in the city. Our friends in Astro Inn will be opening up the night with some of their amazing work Wednesday February 21st at the Continental Club.
Check out out the rest of The Thing and their dates here. Find out what locals are opening and go support in a venue nearest to you!
