The 21st century feels a lot more like what people in the 60s thought it would be when you see videos like Blaenavon's video to 'Orthodox Man'.
The Hampshire three-piece, who teamed up with Melody VR to make the video, have been filmed in New York rehearsing with a 360-degree camera and you can use your mouse to hone in on whatever member of the band you want to watch It's like a cross between google street view and a normal live session. It's quite fun, give it a try.
Importantly, the sound of the band is amazing. It shows just how much of a great chance Blaenavon have of blowing away people's minds at SXSW next week.
The band who were om a lot of people's Ones To Watch lists back in 2012/2013 have taken their time to put out their debut album. Fortunately, it seems they got everything aligned beautifully and have made a smash.
