FUTURE ISLANDS

@ TERMINAL 5
610 W 56th St
New York, NY 10019
$25, 7PM

It's always amazing yet strange to see Future Island play large venues like Terminal 5. Amazing because the band truly deserve the recognition; strange because the band still feel like the good ol' boys we met in North Carolina years ago. (Oh, and if you can't tell, we're back; things will be slow getting back into the swing of things, but it's good to return to posting!)
