Memorable TV Performances: Death From Above 1979 on Conan O’Brien 2005

Death From Above 1979 - Romantic Rights - Live on Conan O'Brien ...

Last night, I was watching the documentary Life After Death From Above 1979 for the I don’t know 6th or 7th time (definitely check it out when you have a moment) and it set me on a path of I know what I’m posting about tomorrow. In the doc, they showed a clip from back in 2005 when the band was promoting their debut album, You’re A Woman, I’m A Machine (which is still one of my all time favorite debut albums ever), they performed “Romantic Rights” on Late Night with Conan O’Brien  I remember watching it when it aired and thinking this band is so damn cool and good, and they really are. Plus the surprise at the end just really makes this a very memorable TV performance. If you haven’t ever really delved into Death From Above 1979, I highly suggest you do. They are a phenomenal band and are one of the best live acts I’ve ever seen too.

Underrated Band: Death From Above 1979

When you think of Canada you mainly think of hockey, and health care for everyone. Music isn’t the best export, especially when Nickelback is a part of it. Thankfully though, Death From Above 1979 saved the day. This dance/electro/noise/punk/rock band consists of Jesse Keeler (bass, synths, vocals) and Sebastien Grainger (drums, vocals). Death From Above 1979 have the ability to cross genres and get different people to enjoy what they offer. Their debut album You’re A Woman, I’m A Machine was released in late 2004. The band toured extensively on that but sadly broke up in 2006. After a few years away from each other Jesse and Sebastien reunited in 2011. They played their first shows in early 2012 and announced they were working on a new album. In 2014, The Physical World was released. The album was produced by Dave Sardy and features 11 songs of pure excitement, with tons of groove, and rocking beats. Currently Death From Above 1979 is on tour with Deftones and Incubus. These guys were very underrated and helped to pave the way for countless bands around today.
