The lovely Pierces performing at Restoration Hardware (yes, the furniture store) on March 22, 2012. Very good looking, dressed up crowd, all of whom I am pretty sure have never actually seen a band play, and who didn’t pay a whole lot of attention to the Pierces’ flawless performance. To quote my plus one, Allyson DeMunda, it felt like a house party at a really large house with lots of places to sit and endless drinks and food. The potato pizza–to die for.
Watch the Pierces at the famous Abbey Road Studios with my friend Jonny Cragg on the drums.
