The third band to take the stage at the free XX Merge show at Orange Social Club was Matt Suggs (formerly of Butterglory). He played a great set comprised of solo tunes and old Butterglory songs. Suggs was joined by Zach Holland on guitar for a few songs and Mac McCaughan played drums during most of the set.The old Butterglory songs really shined, specifically "She's Go the Akshun!" and "Better Gardens, Better Homes." You can check out video of the entire set on YouTube thanks to user chiglartayindustries. It's well worth checking out. The complete set list is below.

Next up came a performance by Chris Lopez, aka Tenement Halls. He burst right out of the gate with the catchy tune "Plenty is Never Enough" and roared on through his short set of songs from his debut album as Tenement Halls titled Knitting Needles & Bicycle Bells. It included the songs "When the Swifts Come Home" and "Up & Over Three Turnstiles."
