I must say, Pickathon is a really really cool festival. Last year they got bands to squeeze into a pumphouse where they recorded live sessions. Those sessions are premiering on Live & Breathing, so keep an eye out.

Without further ado, we’re pleased to unveil These United States’ session of Susie at the Seashore. Enjoy!

In the second part of Ted Leo’s interview at IFC’s Crossroads House with Sir Bob Geldof, he talks about the big issues: what spurred him to do Live Aid, the sad state of the West, and that he wanted to check out These United States live at SXSW!  He mentions the band around the 7-minute mark, though I would urge you to watch the whole interview.
