And In a Week of Looming Greatness, One Band Stood Above the Rest...Okkervil River

The Black Cab Sessions. Chapter Twenty-Seven: Okkervil River
The Black Cab Sessions are a wonderful idea. One artist, one song, one take. In one cab. This is Okkervil River last September, performing the Big Star song "Big Black Car". I think Will Sheff must have a thing for Big Star, as they previously recorded "O, Dana" for their last Australian tour EP. Which leads me to this. This upcoming week is another smorgasboard of madness. In four successive nights I will be seeing Stars , Okkervil River , Broken Social Scene and Feist . I am terribly excited by [...]

Rock the Back of the Cab...

The Black Cab Sessions.Chapter Twenty-Three: The Raveonettes
Il y a les fameux et notoires CONCERTS A EMPORTER ... Trouvaille et travail vidéo absolument génial qui consiste à "accompagner" et "regarder" un groupe ou un artiste dans une configuration de live totalement inhabituelle (à domicile, dans la rue, etc...) Un des plus mémorables "Concert à Emporter" fut sans doute celui avec les ARCADE FIRE (en mars 2007), ou l'on voyait le groupe jouer dans le monte-charge de l'Olympia, juste avant son entrée dans la fosse. De là, de ce point de départ ayant fait résonné les trompettes de la renommée, ces concerts filmés [...]

Okkervil River play in cab, Europe

The Black Cab Sessions. Chapter Twenty-Seven: Okkervil River
We haven't really heard much of Okkervil River since the release of The Stage Names. But they did take some time, at least frontman Will Sheff, to perform on the "Black Cab Sessions". Sheff and his acoustic guitar appropriately performed a cover of Big Star's "Big Black Car". The band kicks off a European tour in [...]
