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!!
Holy Smokes! This is my brand new favorite video of all time! Especially the lefty Wren playing the righty guitar upside down. Your living room rocks!
These guys just fucking kick ass. It doesn't even surprise me that they did this; they are just that cool. What an awesome band. I've seen them live twice, getting to go on stage for Boys You Won't once, and I talked to them after the show both times. Just some really cool, down to earth, kickass musicians.
these wrens are far superior...how many times in their wilderness years did I have to sift countless web pages of doo wop crap! I mean seriously...doo wop!?!? is that your age bruce123?
Well to make it easy if you put a capo on the 2nd fret it looks like the intro/verse/chorus is built around- Am, C, G, F. Obviously its more complicated than that but those are the chords at least, not all of us are as godly as the wrens.
no, it's way more awesome than that. they make left-handed instruments, and you can restring right-handed instruments to play them 'properly' as a leftie, but he does neither! He's playing right-handed-strung instruments upside down, in other words the string order is reversed (as it would be for a violinist) which is difficult and amazing and totally rockstarish.
I learned to play a left-handed guitar upside down, playing like the right-hander I am, when teaching a leftie how to play. Once you wrap your head around it, it's not so hard.
i find it touching to see him as middle-aged balding guy sing "i am the best seventeen year old ever"

It's not like he plays them upside down for fun, it's because he's a lefty. The Wrens rock!

What a great band. As a guitar player myself, I have to say that Charles' style is crazy and so strange-looking but sounds absolutely beautiful.
