Love how you've captured his energy and enthusiasm for the song.
OK. Possibly the impossible question of the month. Maybe year.
Do you remember what song he is singing here and if so what lyric he is actually spouting?
Told you it was impossible. Two years on but may be you made notes or keep a diary?
I saw/intro to them at Glastonbury. They were FANTASTIC. The first song i heard was 'Oxford Comma'. For part of the weekend i thought they were from Oxford. I was so caught up in their sound and being able to hear lyrics that i didn't realise till i looked online how much of the lyrics i was mangling. Them, MGMT and The Wombats made that year's Glastonbury for me.
He looks like someone i knew many years ago. He too was an accomplished guitarist and singer. While thinking they were from Oxford i did wonder if maybe this was my lost friend's son. We had had a connection with Oxford before we lost touch.
Have so much enjoyed seeing this. It has stirred many pleasant memories. Thanks.
Cheer, ben

I am so pleased that you like the photo! And can I just say, sir, that you do ask impossible questions, but because you're from the UK and I LOVE the UK, you are forgiven.
If I had to make an educated guess, I'd say he's belting out the chorus to something, but for the life of me I have no idea what! I even listened to a bunch of songs just now to see if I could figure it out, but it might have been a B-side or something that they don't have on an album. I'm sorry to say I don't know!
At any rate, I'm glad you like it, and I'm sorry Ezra isn't from Oxford. Just plain, old New York.

Thanks for the cool reply.
It's turned really cold again here so i'm off for some 'Hot Chocolate'. What my ears mangled 'Horchata' into. When i realised hot chocolate was wrong my next sing along was 'Hot Chowder'. Really, both of them make sense with lyrics talking of December and Balaclavas. If it gets any colder i'll have to wear a Balaclava, too.
Cheers, ben

It was my first time seeing them live and really getting to hear their music, and I must say I'm a total convert now.
