While Mister Wakefield was enjoying some comedy down the street, I was at Empire for Sunset Hearts‘ second ever show. I’d missed the first one but heard great things about it, so I made sure to be there this time around. The group formed after coming together to perform as the Talking Heads for […] Steven Wright performed at the State Theatre on November 11. It was fine. Brad Wakefield is Biscuit‘s brother.
