A Times Square experience with Middle Distance Runner

When Washington DC’s Middle Distance Runner was in town to play The Annex, they were staying at their friend’s hotel room at Times Square, though they told us it was really their label who’d put them there. In preparation for songs they were going to play for us, they’d recruited a few things lying about the room, including a towel, an ice bucket (?) and a tray. We decided to leave the TV on, though muted, to faithfully honor the Times Square hotel room atmosphere. Between gulps of coffee and screwdriver, the band also gifted us with an impromptu song that involves wearing a skirt and stealing a checkbook, amongst other things. All that and more in the video we bring you here. The band will be playing Union Hall with Pretty & Nice on May 14th.

All of them are super cute!
The guy in the hat looks like justin timberlake…but obviously more talented!
The guy in the red hoodie looks like Ashten Kutcher…but obviously way cuter and taller.
The definition of a rock star is the dude in the bathtub!
The guy sitting on the tub looks like a college professor that you want to date.
ps.
The music was good..seemed like you guys woke up as the jam session went on…or it was the alcohol. Sun & Earth Rocks!
