No matter how infrequently they play together, Los Angeles-based indie supergroup the Rescues turns out a crowd of enthusiastic supporters every time they take the stage.

It's not hard to understand why -- the four-piece outfit features musicians who are all talented on multiple instruments, striking gorgeous vocal harmonies on each of their catchy, heartfelt tracks that expertly blend alternative rock with indie singer-songwriter charm.

The band's contagious camaraderie was on full display Monday night, when the group reunited for special back-to-back performances at Room 5 Music in Los Angeles -- an intimate concert venue above a restaurant with an uncertain future, as both have recently been sold.

In an impressive 90-minute set, which was the group's second performance of the night, the band played the bulk of its latest album, Blah Blah Love and War, sprinkling in good-natured jibes at bandmates, dedications to the partners of fans who couldn't make the show, and a healthy dose of snark.

The Advocate was at the show and captured video of several tracks, a pair of which you can watch below. The songs selected prominently feature band member Adrianne Gonzales (seated on the far right), an out lesbian who is also a solo artist, performing, painting, writing, and directing music videos under the name AG.
