I'm not sure if they could fit one more keyboard/synthesizer into Studio A at the Village, the stands were literally swaying as they were being played from having so much electronic equipment stacked on them. Setting up the cameras to video tape the session was like traveling through a jungle, ducking and jumping over cables.

After seeing them at Coachella this past year it was interesting to see them in such an intimate setting. Their keyboard counterparts create very sophisticated rhythms below their catchy vocal melodies and lyrics.

They performed songs from their new album Pocket Symphony as well as a great version of "Remember" from their 1998 release Moon Safari.

During the session the session they also had a surprise visit from Robbie Robertson (member of "The Band"), who had these words of advice: "add more keyboards!" (He was kidding)
