News has been sparse from The Rosebuds lately but that could be because the band has been busy settling into their new digs in Brooklyn.

The band took to the streets of the Greenpoint neighborhood to play a fantastic version of "Woods" for the series The Bowery Presents: Live. Check out the performance below.

It's fantastic to see the band still pushing forward after a turbulent few years. If you don't know what I mean, listen to the band's latest album Loud Planes Fly Low (or check our album review HERE).
