SXSW 2018 – The Sounds, Part 3

Monday Morning Video – Matthew Logan Vasquez and Nathaniel Rateliff

Monday, May 08, 2017 By Mayer Danzig

Here’s a fun one to start the week. Matthew Logan Vasquez and Nathaniel Rateliff and friends hanging out singing a song. The song is “Redfish,” from Vasquez’s new album Does What He Wants. It looks like at least a few wine bottles were harmed, or at least emptied, during the making of this video.
