"The Eastern Sea is an Indie rock band from Austin, Texas,
which originally started as a bedroom project by singer Matthew Hines
and eventually morphed into a band. They have released two original full
length albums and a full length Christmas album."
The band hits Pittsburgh Saturday night at The Smiling Moose for the all-ages early show touring behind their latest album, "Plague". I want to thank vocalist Matt Hines for taking the time to participate in this edition of First/Last.

Any thoughts,
experiences about Pittsburgh?
First time we ever played in Pittsburgh we drank a bottle of gin and cut our own hair with safety scissors. Ever since then, I've had an amazing soft spot in my heart for your city.

Thanks, Matt. Pittsburgh = drunken haircuts. I can live with that, I suppose.
