Recently, New York indie-rock darlings topped the Billboard album charts with their latest release, Contra. And while the album sat at number one, Chris Tomson sat behind his drum kit in a Chivas kit in the video for their frenetic single “Cousins”. To get to the story behind the jersey, Chivas USA staffer David Lindholm talked to Chris a few weeks ago while the band was in LA on a West Coast tour. Is he a “goat” or was his choice of attire a wardrobe malfunction?
