This is why we love the internet…

If you want to pretend to be cool and into your music at the moment, name drop the band Future Islands and your credibility will instantly go through the roof.

To make you sound more believable, say stuff like “I can’t believe it’s taken four albums for them to hit the mainstream” or “Their performance of ‘Seasons’ on David Letterman was an incredible TV moment” and your buddies will nominate you for hipster of the year. *JOE squeezes into skinny jeans*

The band played on Later… with Jools Holland a few weeks back so people in Ireland had a chance to see them on the tellybox. We like to think we are an observative bunch here in Ireland and YouTube user Tom Walsh made a hell of an observation while watching Future Islands on Jools.

Tom noticed that the lead singer of the band looks an awful lot like the late great Joe Dolan. To prove the point, Tom dubbed Joe’s classic ‘Good Lookin’ Woman’ over Future Islands’ performance and it is just perfect, check it out here…
