    You can view The Leisure Society performing three tracks completely acoustically on the front page of bandstandbusking.com right now. We’d like to send a big thank you to the bandstandbusking.com, the videos look and sound great. Sons of Noel and Adrian should be doing a bandstand busk for them soon, playing songs from the new EP.
