February 19th marked the evening that the Broken Bells performed their first live show, ever. This took place at the new hidden gem in Echo Park, the Fold at the Bootleg Theater. I was first attracted to the Bells, just on their album cover, then I did my research. I almost fell of my seat when I dug deeper to find out who this collaboration was comprised of; frontman James Mercer of the Shins and Dangermouse (a DJ widely known for taking the Beatles 'White Album' and Jay Z's 'Black Album' and mixing the two into the masterpiece DJ Dangermouse's 'Grey Album'). What a perfect combination of talent and artistry. Too bad for me my research was done the very day after they performed in LA, but I have a strong feeling that they will return.
Check them out in this video from their first single off of their self-titled debut album that dropped March 5th. GO AND GET IT, IT'S AMAZING!
