The roll-out of quality shows continues today, as we are proud to release a duo of prolific concerts from two of the most exciting touring bands around. Recorded October 18th, 2007 at the
Worlds Fair CMJ Showcase, were proud to premier these electric performances from Brooklyns
Pela, and Englands
British Sea Power.
In this performance at the Bowery Ballroom, British Sea Power offer an exhilarating dose of anthemic, freak out material. Except, here, the band stays cool, and stands tall throughout.
This is material British Sea Power truly reign supreme over. No gimmicks needed, this is as confident a performance as any you'll find in our catalogue. -

Propped upon pile driving drums, a brooding bottom end, and flickering guitar lines that elegantly dance to Billy McCarthys gutsy yelp, the intensity of this Pela performance - a hometown
CMJ affair at the Bowery Ballroom that was the bands last of a generous 2007 - will absorb viewers right through the screen. This is music of a more meaningful variety
of course,
when you pull from the very best of American rock bands, both past and present, this is bound to happen.
