Shame live with orchestra

Tiny Desk Concerts hosted by NPR Music have been performed from band's homes due to the pandemic. And they've just uploaded a little home concert by Shame performing 3 amazing songs from their new album Drunk Tank Pink, "born in Luton", "snow day" and "human, for a minute". The band is accompanied by a little orchestra which turned these songs even more dramatic but also beautiful. Enjoy :)

Wolf Alice, Blue Weekend, take III

3rd and last post about the presentation of Wolf Alice's new album, Blue Weekend.
Wolf Alice's songs have this quality of getting more powerful from the middle to the end and Lipstick On The Glass is a great example of that.

And as usual, let's remember some of Wolf Alice's older songs. But this time, here's a live show recorded this year including songs from all their 3 albums. Notice that their older songs were more punky than now, mostly dream pop.
The songs are: Don't Delete The Kisses (Visions of a Life - 2017), Smile (Blue Weekend - 2021), Beautifully Unconventional (Visions of a Life - 2017), Formidable Cool (Visions of a Life - 2017), Bros (My Love Is Cool - 2015), The Last Man on Earth (Blue Weekend - 2021), Giant Peach (My Love Is Cool - 2015).

Enjoy, have a nice weekend :)

Wolf Alice, Blue Weekend, take II

Another amazing song from Blue Weekend, Wolf Alice's new album.
This one, The Last Man On Earth, is pretty known by some of us once it was published as a single and it's been played on many radio stations since February

And as promised on the last post, let's remember some of Wolf Alice's great older songs.
I can't help myself, I LOVE this next song. Sorry, I posted this video long before but it is the ONLY good video with this fantastic Planet Hunter.
And another, Giant Peach, from their 1st album My Love Is Cool.

Wolf Alice, Blue Weekend, take I

What a great band, superb musicians, amazing singer, Ellie Rowsell - she's gonna be 29 on day 19.
Just yesterday, Wolf Alice presented us this video with this amazing song Feeling Myself from their last album Blue Weekend out since last 4th of June.
Wolf Alice is a fantastic band and I bet it's gonna be one of the great big things during this decade. Anyway I'm suspicious not only because I LOVE unconditionally some of their songs and I love their good taste. No wonder, because they also love my beloved city of Lisbon, even if I don't enjoy their song named precisely Lisbon :))) And guess what, they do feel very sorry about Brexit and about getting off of the European Community, as most of British artists do :(
So let's start this presentation about Wolf Alice's last album with 3 posts with new and older songs.
Enjoy :)
