Covers and Givers
So back in December, I was able to get into the sold out Portland Cello Project holiday show and they did an amazing cover of Kanye West’s All of the Lights. Im pretty sure they made a kanye fan out of everyone in the crowd with this one:
If you wanna hear the original, here you go (though due to music rights, you’ll have to go to youtube to watch this one)
Another favorite of that night was PCP’s collaboration with the band Typhoon on their song “CPR/Claws Pt 2″ Typhoon was named #2 on Portland’s Top 10 New Bands this past year and #5 on Amazon’s Top Albums You Might Have Missed.
Speaking of bands you might have missed, I just recently went to see Ra Ra Riot in concert and one of their opening bands, the Givers, were so good! They had amazing energy and put on a really great show, and I think the crowd was pretty blown away. The band got a ton of buzz at last year’s SXSW festival as well as opened up for the Dirty Projectors on their national tour. Here are couple of their songs.
