Yesterday, at 3pm, Why? played a special secret gig in the Twisted Pepper on Abbey St. The gig was only announced the previous afternoon, and information was spread through email and word of mouth. Analogue was there to film the event exclusively- a video should be making its way online in the next few days.
The band played a pared-down acoustic set of five songs, some of which they had already played at their gig in the A.L.T., and one of which (Eskimo Snow) has yet to be released.
Here’s the setlist:
1. Fall of Mr Fifths (delivered solo, in spoken word form)
2. Nashville
3. A Torpedo or Crohn’s
4. Fatalist Palmistry
5. Eskimo Snow
After a brief interval, there was a live Q&A session, fielded by my lovely self. Topics covered included sampling, audience participation, cover versions and the best song ever written. Yoni’s answer to the latter question? ‘Happy Birthday’.
Keep your eyes on the Analogue website in the coming days for more exclusive content from the gig.
[Lest I forget, cheers to Eoin, Tom and Yan for helping this run as smoothly as it did]




Did any of the footage work out?
