PHOTO by Sung. More here.
NOTE: In the following Brian Burton, of whom it has become standard to point out is also known as Danger Mouse, will be referred to simply as DM. James Mercer will be JM, not “James Mercer of the Shins,” as has also become his standard billing. The live band is filled out with five others on lend from fine other rock outfits Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band and Hella, who, for the sake of brevity and writer’s sanity, will be collectively referred to herein as TOGWANDMNJM or, The Other Guys Who Are Neither Danger Mouse Nor James Mercer. (Sorry, TOGWANDMNJM.) Broken Bells will be BB.
