Death From Above 1979 Recording Live at Third Man Records
One of Canada’s most prized musical possessions, Death From Above 1979, will visit Jack White‘s the 
Third Man Records headquarters in Nashville on July 16 to record a live performance direct to acetate. Of course, the label will subsequently release an LP of the show.
Last year, Death From Above 1979 released The Physical World, its first album in 10 years. Riffyou.com thought the album was so damn good that we gave the band our 2014 Comeback of the Year title.
“Once The Physical World began to ease its way into human skulls as the summer led into September, there was little doubt that Sebastian Grainger and Jesse Keeler’s joint-touch hadn’t weakened over the years,” read our Comeback of the Year feature. “If anything, their years away – not just from the band, but from each other after industry pressures and struggles getting along led to a 2006 break-up – seemingly resulted in a heightened bond and the realization that when their individual talents are pushed into one space, greatness can be achieved.”
It continued: “With The Physical World, we are equally given the tire squealing pandemonium, pulsating rhythms and howling vocals that made You’re a Woman, I’m a Machine such a force, along with a new appreciation for more accessible hooks, increased (maybe even more grown-up) grooves, and an energy that’s more paced than shoved down a throat. If You’re a Woman, I’m a Machine was a race to the finish line, The Physical World is a city tour bus breaking speed limits, but not ignoring the sites.”
Tickets for the Third Man Records show are available for just $10. You need to be 18+ to get in.
