N.Y.E. live @ Edgefest '11



(thanks for filming this Carey)

So Edgefest happened...

What an unreal day!
EDGEFEST 2011 blew my mind. It was like the last day of summer camp. Without all the crying. Getting to share the bill with so many great bands that we love on and off the stage, playing in front of a seriously amazing crowd, a perfect shining summer day, what more could we possibly ask for??

Special thanks to the Arkells, Tokyo Police Club, Hollerado, The Reason, and Sandman Viper Command for being some of the best bands around. Big love.

We dropped into Break Thru Radio in New York City to perform and handful of songs. Here's "Birthright".

I'm pretty sure we've got this whole "touring" thing down.

Big thanks to our #1 dude Mitch Brown for making this video, and for being an all-round stand up gentleman.

Oh and I GUESSSSS thanks to TPC for bringing us along for the ride... I guess.
