Jack Peñate has been enjoying some serious buzz in his home in the UK. Apparently he rose to fame pretty quickly and people get skeptical when that happens. I liked the record immediately when I listened to it, but I was also a little dubious of whether he would be able to recreate it live. I am happy to report that he and his band did just fine when they came by Studio A. In fact, they created a little dance party in our studio. I'd heard reports that Jack was an "eclectic" dancer so I was really hoping to see some funky dance moves, unfortunately it wasn't as weird as I'd hoped. He was a lovely chap though and was very accommodating when asked to do an American accent for me. I did a British accent for them too, but they all laughed at me. No hard feelings though. I just danced it off.
Favorite tracks to sing with an English accent: "Tonight's Today," "Everything Is New," and "Let's All Die."
