(If you’re not familiar with the group, you’ll surely recognize some of its past and present personnel, which includes Jeff Buckley, Matthew Sweet, Television drummer Billy Ficca and Modern Lovers bassist Ernie Brooks.) Lucas was all alone when he stopped by TONY earlier this week to plug the gig, but this rendition of his original tune “Fata Morgana” was so incendiary, we doubt you’ll mind:
