Blood Orange: arty rambling, hobo clothes, a spooky live performance displayed to you all thanks to FBi's new 'Studio to Stage' segment.

'Studio to the Stage' is a brand new segment over at FBi Radio where audiences are able to experience music and artists as they discuss and perform their work. 'Sound to Stage' gives us access into the interviewing room, behind the scenes and then most importantly we are positioned as the audience in the crowd as the artists perform their hearts out.

First to get the 'Studio to Stage' treatment is PURPLE SNEAKERS new fave BLOOD ORANGE. What a good choice this is, not only does everything sound so much more soulful and poignant coming from an accent but we also get a pretty vibrant collection of adventures.

This is a really great and expertly executed idea and top work by videographer - Aidan Keogh. It feels like a mini documentary and it’s a great feature video of an artist who is doing so many interesting things. Although, as great as it is to listen to Dev Haynes artfully ramble about nothing and watch him walk around with that leather cap, the most interesting portion of this is no doubt his performance. Who knew a crowd could have such a wild time in what looks like some kind of a apocalyptic ‘Smells like Teen Spirit’ dungeon.
