From campjinx.com: You know when you really really like a band or a person, and you think of them in the highest possible regard, so if/when you find out they're really assholes, it crushes your soul and makes you reconsider everything you hold dear. For those who are fans of the critically acclaimed New Jersey band, The Wrens, you need not worry. Not only are they not assholes, they turned out to be the nicest most genuine people I have met in a very long time (and incredible musicians). How nice you ask? Well nice enough to find time between two sold out Chicago shows to stop by a fan's apartment and give him one of the most amazing experiences of his young life. That fan was me... And the experience was seeing my favorite band (seriously, I am not just saying that) play an acoustic version of my favorite song using my family's guitars. and in a bind for a percussion instrument, the drummer, Jerry, utilized of all things one of my favorite breakfast foods. All of this took place in the living room of my Chicago apartment, and it was a surreal experience, one that we captured on film, so without further ado, THE WRENS LIVE AT BRENDAN'S!

As the story goes, after a performance at Schubas, a fan invited the Wrens to hang out at his nearby apartment. I’m not sure if the fan actually expected them to say yes, but they did. They even played a song (one of my personal favorites). There’s not a lot of bands that would do something like that. Very cool indeed.Everybody chooses sides? Well I definitely choose the side of the Wrens.

Was that the concert at their anniversary? I was there! I went by myself because there was only one ticket for sale out side. It was fantastic. You are so Lucky!!
