Here's a recent live show from pop-rock band The Lemon Twigs. The Lemon Twigs are from Long Island, New York, and are essentially the brother duo of Brian and Michael D'Addario, who play all the instruments and vocals on the albums (for live shows they add a drummer and bass/keyboards player). They have made quite an impact over the last few years, with a dynamic mix of 60's and 70's-influenced indie rock, power pop, and glam rock. Although their earlier albums (2016-2019) featured more of a quirky and somewhat strange mix of glam rock, power pop, and art rock, and are kind of all over the place, their last couple albums have honed in on more specific periods and styles, with Everything Harmony (2023) focusing on 70's pop and soft rock styles, with haunting melodies and ballads; and the most recent album, the brand new A Dream is All I Know (2024) is focused more on outright imitations of the sunshine pop of the 60's and bands like The Byrds, Beach Boys, Beatles, Simon and Garfunkel, and Todd Rundgren. They are an intriguing and talented up and coming band that received both very high praise for their vocal, arrangements, and songwriting abilities, as well as dismissal by some for relying too much on imitating past bands and styles. This show was their first on their new 2024 tour for the new album, and it very much features the new album, with 8 songs from that album, as well as another 6 from Everything Harmony, and just a few from the earlier albums. The band has a very enthusiastic audience here. It is  a decent (not great) audience recording (comes from Youtube) that is unfortunately marred by some fans that insist on singing along (out of tune) to every song, even the ones they don't know at all. Anyway, it is a very enjoyable show nonetheless. Check 'em out.
