Last Wednesday, My Teenage Stride headlined the latest of Jonny Leather’s excellent charity concerts at Bell House. The band’s thirty minute set encapsulated what makes MTS such a compelling act to follow. The intelligent songs are influenced by garage pop, eighties underground, and a thousand other genres in between. While the band retains a sense of humor and looseness on stage, the precise songcraft of protagonist Jedediah Smith remains undeniable.
My Teenage Stride is in the midst of a short East coast tour in August that will culminate in their appearance on the first night of the After The Jump Fest at Littlefield on Friday August 28.
We recorded this set from the raised area next to the soundboard and the sound quality is excellent. Enjoy!
