The Devil You Know
Live @ The Grey Ghost/StarFactory
Matthew adjusts his microphone to the right height for him as he plucks his guitar, while his brother Lawrence places a small array of pedals before Matthew. While the rest of the band set up, Matthew nods his head a bit, and for the first time The Devil You Know are shown on stage, without the goofy set-up used for their promo pictures.
“Hey-o! My name is Matt, and you probably already knew that.” The vocalist lets out a nervous chuckle before a loud screech is heard as Matt flinches. He quickly looks back towards his brother Vincent.
“Sorry! My bass got a bit too purr-y.” Vincent speaks over to him, and Matt shrugs.
“Alright, well looks like we’re getting this show on the road and uh, this one goes out to ELMNT, because their name is weird.”
Undone - The Sweater Song/A Weezer Cover
[Brackets = Background Vocals]
Julian plays the quick drum intro as he quickly reverts into the back-beat that underlines the song as Matt begins the signature riff of the song with Vincent supporting him. At this point Lawrence justs sits on his amp.
“Before the song...” Matt says, still strumming, “Just wanna say thanks Fort Lauderdale for what you’ve been to us and uh...I can see my house from here!”
The nonsensical comment causes his brother Lawrence to laugh before he stands as he begins strumming, unplugged from his amp to imitate the acoustic section as the drumming slows down to cymbal taps and Matt stops playing, stepping towards the mic.
I'm me, Me be/God damn, I am,
I can sing and, Hear me/Know me
Matt begins to strum heavily as the drumming picks back up, Matt’s guitar drowns out the acoustic guitar.
If you want to destroy my sweater/pull this thread as I walk away.
The song reverts back to its original rhythm, and Lawrence is sitting down on his amp again. Matt steps to the microphone, “Great time out here, lovely city this is. Can’t wait to check out more of the sites.”
And back to Lawrence’s strumming with Matt stepping to the Mic:
Oh no, It go/It gone, Bye-bye [bye],
Do I, I think /I sink, and I DIE!
Matt comes back in headbanging as he sings the next lines strumming heavily.
If you want to destroy my sweater/Woah woah a woah.
{Hold/Pull} this thread as I walk away/As I walk away!
Watch me unravel/I'll soon be naked.
Lying on the floor, Lying on the floor!/I've come undone.
Drumming picks up as Vincent backs up Matthew’s guitar solo which begins. The eldest brother gets onto his knees as he plays headbanging his slightly shaggy mane, biting below his lip with his upper teeth as he tears into the riff.
Lawrence throws up a pair of devil horns as he headbangs and the solo begins to come to an end as the quartet have finished their rendition of the song. Matt shakes his head and breathes out. “Thank you Star Factory, The Devil You Know.”
