Neko Case on Fallon

Neko Case stopped by the “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon” show last night and performed the track, “Red Tide”, from her most recent album Middle Cyclone.

The Roots didn’t perform with her, even though that would have probably been pretty awesome. It was still a great performance nonetheless.

check it out below.

Dear and the Headlights - Run In The Front

from their 2007 debut album Small Steps, Heavy Hooves

I’m pretty sure i’ve written all i can possibly write about this band in some of my previous entries. It’s safe to say they’re one of the best bands out right now, and they definitely put on phenomenal live shows. bands like DATH restore my faith in music, and they’re an example of the raw talent that if you look well enough, can be still found in music in this day and age. The passion in the lead singer’s voice, and the creativity and originality of their lyrics just makes them stand out from almost every other band out there, and i can’t begin to express how much i’m excited about their continuing growth and success. if the rest of the music community takes a note from them, i’m pretty sure music will be back to what it was in it’s prime.
