Princeton has been on a crazy (if poorly planned) tour that has brought them through North Carolina three times, once opening for Ra Ra Riot and, today, with Art Brut. Last week, they headlined at the Coffeehouse and we got video of them bantering, on stage and singing in the back of their van. Those hating hand claps need not listen. Otherwise, here’s the video:

They played capable synth-aided indie punk and successfully managed to get some of the crowd dancing in advance of the real show, but possibly the highlight of their set was the intentionally awkward banter between the vocalist and lead guitar. Pretty adorable.
