It’s been a while since we have heard anything new from the Yeah YeahYeahs but luck would have it that the trio are set to release a
new album in the spring and this week performed some new material from the new
record for a lucky crowed in Pomona, California. Reportedly, the first of the
two videos below is titled "Suck Young Blood".
Been a long while since we posted a Sunday Matinée so I
figured we were about due for one, or in this case two since we’ve been dropping
the ball. First up isBritish group ∆(pronounced Alt-J) who have been gaining a lot of
steam since their début album, An Awesome Wave, came out in the summer, a short
and sweet affair packed with many memorable moments of catchy pop, hip-hopbeats
and a trip-hop atmosphere.
The band just won Britain’s coveted Mercury Prize this week so I thought why
not post this full performance on Seattle’s KEXP from September.
Second up is Swedish band Goat, a collective who hail from a
small and very remote village called Korpolombolo and play a crazy mix of psychedelic
funk, tribal rhythms, kraut rock, prog-rock, and folk they describe as world
music because it draws from so many places( as apposed to the usual, limited
(Afrocentric) definition of the term.) Like many of the bands that hail from
the cold north Goat applies a lot of theatrics and satanic imagery, hence the
name of some of the tracks including Goatman, Goathead and
Goatlord but unlike a lot of those bands Goat are in no way a metal band. Check
em' out doing their thing live at
Truckstop Alaska, in Gothenburg from 2012-10-27.
A couple weekends back, at a private house party at
Princeton, Action Bronson rapped his way through a crowd of students. While spitting
rhymes the very likable MC moved around freely, grabbing a bagel, smoking
joints, posing for pictures and getting the occasional head rub without missing
a beat. Check out the antics below in
this weeks Sunday Matinée.
Sleigh Bells spent the weekend back home in New York City playing to a sold out Terminal 5 crowed on Friday and making their first appearance on national television as the musical guests on SNL the following night. All this in a heavy week of promotion for the duo before the Tuesday release of their sophomore LP, Reign Of Terror, hit’s the street. Check out the bands performance of lead single “Come Back Kid” and “End Of The Line” below for this week’s edition of Sunday Matinée.
BONUS:
Here is a clip from Friday's Terminal 5 show performing my all time favorite tune from the due "Kids"
Oh Rocket From The Crypt you truly were one of the greatest rock and roll bands off all time, any one who ever had the pleasure of seeing the band live knows it was always a euphoric experience so it was only right that I finally posted something from the boys for our Sunday Matinée.
Here’s the band playing their most widely recognized song “On A Rope” at Glastonbury Festival in the U.K. sounding like the well oiled machine they consistently were.
