Take-Away Shows
Since we started the week with music discovery, thought I’d pass along a cool site. Take-Away Shows are video podcasts featuring bands or artists playing their music live for small audiences. To quote the site:
“Every week, we invite an artist or a band to play in the streets, in a bar, a park, or even in a flat or in an elevator, and we film the whole session. Of course, what makes the beauty of it is all the little incidents, hesitations, and crazy stuff happening unexpectingly. Besides, we do not edit the videos so they look perfectly flawless, instead we keep the raw sound of the surroundings. Our goal is to try and capture instants, film the music just like it happens, without preparation, without tricks. Spontaneity is the keyword.”
There’s tons of great shows on the site, from artists like Bon Iver, Arcade Fire, Bloc Party, Animal Collective, and many more. Check out a sample below from Vampire Weekend - love how they filmed the whole thing in a van while driving!
