Ra Ra Riot Does A Take-Away Show!

Click on the turntable on the left to listen to a continuous stream of music featured on Pretty Much Amazing - updated every day. For more, you can check out the Best Songs of 2012.

La Blogotheque’s Take-Away show series continues to be the best way to watch your favorite bands play music. Every video is fantastic, from Arcade Fire playing “Neon Bible” in a cramped elevator, to Zach Condon singing “Nantes” with Beirut on the streets of France, to Fleet Foxes harmonizing in a gymnasium, and now jamming in a skate park. The shows always fill me with joy- you’re able to watch a raw performance with no studio layers, just your band playing their heart out. Check out ’s “Dying Is Fine” below.

Thanks so much for posting this Adam!! I hadn’t heard of this whole Take-Away show live series before and I have to admit La Blogoteque have piled up an incredible collection of little mini live shows.
I must have wasted atleast 2 hours of my day watching some of my favorite artists playing great music in such an honest and real manner…!
thanks x
