Just last month, footage surfaced of Justin Vernon performing with his high school band, Mount Vernon, during a battle of the bands event. Now just a few short weeks later, another video of this high school band has found its way online. The latest footage comes from an album release party for Mount Vernon's 1999 debut album We Can Look Up. 

The newly uploaded footage is a full recording of their album release party—spanning an hour and half long. The video shows a pretty packed house helping Vernon, and the rest of his high school band mates celebrate the release of their brand new album. Vernon and the rest of Mount Vernon's band members—Joe Westerlund, Phil Cook, Brad Cook—take the stage to perform cuts for the album, as well as share a few words and thank you's with the audience.

Watch the footage from the band's performance here.
