I saw them at the secret garden party on saturday, they were so good I got tickets to see them on tuesday at Bush Hall in Shepherds bush, only 12.50, everyone loved them and they came out in to the festival to meet everyone afterwards.
This is from their new album, It's a cover of Amy Winehouse's Rehab.
