Well, really the point of posting the video is that this indie art "rock" band not only played in such a strange choice of a town (if you were only doing 5 US shows, what? LA, NY, Chicago, Boston, San Francisco?) and that such a band would be getting coverage on the local TV news.
This is not to say you're not entitled to an opinion about the band itself, but mostly it was this band, presented in this context, that I found so weird.
