Take Away Shows

It’s recently come to my attention that there are people who still don’t know about these yet, so I’m going to take a break from the regular schedule of photography and use this as a sort of PSA for the Take Away Shows. There’s this guy in France, see, who goes by the name of Vincent Moon and likes to make short films of bands he likes performing acoustically in unconventional spaces. He got Vampire Weekend on the street and in bars. Jose Gonzalez played in the back of a moving truck. Sufjan Stevens performed for him on the top of what looks like a church. Efterklang – yes, all of them – played a few songs in a stairwell. Recently, he even surprised Bloc Party at a bar and convinced them to sing a few songs in the street.

Although infrequently updated, the music there is very, very (tre, tre?) cool and never quite what you’d expect. You may even find something that you like and never heard about before. Head over there and check it out.

In the meantime, here’s a recent one from Fleet Foxes.
