KCRW Performances

Alright so KCRW is a radio station in I believe south California. This guy Nic Harcourt hosts this show Morning Becomes Eclectic. He invites bands to come play on the show and he's gotten some cool groups. So I'll post a view links to videos of bands I thought were cool on his show. Every video is about 30-40 minutes long, with an interview in the middle.

First group is a band from Scotland called Dogs Die in Hot Cars. They are a upbeat pop group, compared to Talking Heads and XTC. Either way pretty catchy stuff, sometimes the lyrics are kind of stupid but not too shabby music.

Next group is a group of cats out of Mexico named Cafe Tacuba. I can't necessarily describe their sound, I suppose a dash of Radiohead is in there, but either way I think it's really good. They sing in Spanish which doesn't bother me, but some people might not dig that. I recommend starting at about 21 minutes in. The second 1/2 of the songs are the good ones starting with "Que Pasara" then "Eres" then probably the best song "Puntos Cardinales"

Most people who might potentially read this probably know who Interpol is, this is just a solid performance, all Turn on the Bright Lights songs, besides the Specialist.

That's it for now, hope you enjoy.
