The show was held at the Lucky Bamboo China Bistro in Nashville, and according to the footage and Tracklist, Williams and York were on stage throughout the entire show, playing instruments, singing backing vocals and covering Radiohead’s “House of Cards.” And having an all around good time, of course.
Williams is actually featured on a new HalfWave song, “As U Wave,” which you can listen to below!
Hayley clearly had a great time, too. (With blisters to prove it!)

Farro officially rejoined Paramore in February. Paramore announced the news with a special t-shirt featuring a childhood Farro along with posting on their social media, “I'm Back.”
Speculation emerged that Farro was working with his former band last summer, and later in July, Farro confirmed he was drumming on Paramore's forthcoming fifth studio album, but that's it.
“They’ve asked me to play drums on their album, on their new album. So [Hayley] put it on their Instagram and put it on their website, and it’s no joke that I’m back just playing drums for them on their album alongside with doing my HalfNoise stuff. That’s it, and that’s literally all it is right now. No one’s really asked cause I’ve kind of deterred the question, but I’m doing HalfNoise – that’s my band. They’ve asked me to drum, and it was like, ‘Yeah, of course!’ We’ve always been friends, and yeah, there was a little bit of weirdness cause I left the band for a few years, but all that stuff is not even there anymore and there’s no hard feelings and it’s just been rad and fun.”
