One of RVA’s best indie pop groups Manatree played live at the Broadberry a few weeks back and we’ve got a delightful video of them performing “City Park.”

Comprised of four dudes who have been making music together since middle school, Manatree has been making waves locally since last summer. Their debut self-titled album is out now and it’s something you’re going to want to hear before the rest of the country does.

With shoutouts from heavy-hitter music blogs like Brooklyn Vegan and Pure Volume, its only a matter of time before these fellas head for a bigger stage.
