Sep 20, 2011, 3:04pm Bowlegs Music Review

Check this great short film catching Bowleg Favourites The Luyas performing as part of the Pop Montreal festival. Here's the info: "The idea was to melt people into letting their guard down, so Ruby, Jessie, and Derrick got permission to build a paper forest.
