Between the smooth, creamy vanilla ice cream and the frothy, delicious Old Dominion root beer, it’s difficult to imagine a person who doesn’t love root beer floats.

The band released a new album last year entitled History of Modern which recieved some great reviews (of course!). Well the band is back this summer with a new live album that was released on August 22, OMD Live in Berlin, and take it from us, it’s awesome! Frontman Andy McClusky discussed the live album saying, “We see it as a way to share our life on the road with the people who have been there with us for the span of a career. It’s something we’re excited to experience with our fans.” Not only does the release include the live tunes but the deluxe package also contains “a hard back book from the tour, never before seen hand written notes, recent letters from the group to their fans and a selection of lyrics”. If that doesn’t show the type of love and respect they have for their fans then I don’t know what does!

Check out this old-school video of the song that you will most definitely remember from Pretty in Pink… kick back, listen, let it take you back in time and then get your tickets for the show on September 19!
