Festival La Ferme 2017

And So I Watch You from Afar are a Northern Irish instrumental rock band from Belfast, composed of guitarists Rory Friers and Niall Kennedy on guitar, bassist Johnny Adger and drummer Chris Wee. They wrote and released two albums and three EPs with former member Tony Wright who now performs under the pseudonym VerseChorusVerse. They write largely instrumental music with group vocals in parts; Friers now writes a lot of the music, but they arrange and contribute to these songs in the rehearsal room as a three-piece to make them into finished songs. They are signed to Richter Collective, and in October 2011 the band announced a deal in North America with management and record label Sargent House, who released Gangs on November 8, 2011.
