L$HCB: In the Branches - The Builders and the Butchers
The Lonely $treetz Hearts Club Band (LSHCB) plays Honor's Fall 2023.
This video was taken at a larp, Dystopia Rising: New York, that’s set in a post-apocalyptic world. The performers are in character as their larp characters, but the performance itself is very real, and took all the rehearsal and preparation that any live performance does.
Larp backstory: On the eve of an annual bloodbath, these characters chose this set list to commemmorate the event, and tell the stories of those who fight and fall. Based on that context, the “vibe” of this performance might not be what you’d expect from this song if it were performed by the original band, or in a recording booth.
Vocals: Allegra Durante (as Gramercy Verne)
Guitar: Robert Thompson (as Johnny Nocturne)
Drums: A. Nonymous (as Isaac Murdock)
Bass: Christopher Malec (as Brandon B. Roderick)
Note: Any depicted weapons are fictional; they're made of soft foam that's safe to whack your friends with a little in "what you see is what you get" lightest-touch boffer combat.
