Walk The Moon on an Austin street where I should have been

When I was somewhere other than on Red River outside Stubbs last week in Austin, the four guys from Walk The Moon were playing their stupendously joyful song “Anna Sun” and a David Bowie cover under the yellow streetlights. You can feel the Texas warmth radiating even in the night.
