At Laneway Festival in Sydney, Faster Louder challenged Mac DeMarco and his mum – festival MC Agnes – to a “Mac Off” to find out which one of them knew more Mac facts than the other.
With a wonderfully goofy grin planted on his face, Mac DeMarco gives the impression of an oversized, hyperactive prodigy child. The band’s performance is incredibly tight, despite the shambolic impression they create between spurts of philosophical platitudes and offshoots into classic covers.
