Lake Street Dive: Tiny Desk (Home) Concert
Музыка
The Tiny Desk is working from home for the foreseeable future. Introducing NPR Music's Tiny Desk (home) concerts, bringing you performances from across the country and the world. It's the same spirit - stripped-down sets, an intimate setting - just a different space.
Josh Rogosin | April 27, 2021
Lake Street Dive filmed its Tiny Desk (home) concert where the band is most at home: on stage at the “biggest little venue in NYC,” Pete’s Candy Store. All five band members managed to squeeze onto a stage no larger than the actual Tiny Desk to shine a spotlight on the Save Our Stages Act. Congress passed the $15 billion grant program last December as part of the $900 billion coronavirus relief bill. In the middle of the home concert, bassist Bridget Kearney recalls driving to the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn for a gig at Pete’s, then driving back to Boston the very same night, long before they ever sold out Radio City Music Hall on the other side of the East River.
It’s hard to believe the band has released seven studio albums. Its latest, Obviously, provided the setlist for this intimate performance and prominently features the newest member and co-songwriter, keyboard and vocalist Akie Bermiss. Hopefully we’ll all be packed into tight venues again soon, adding the thunderous applause we’re all yearning to contribute. Until then, we’ll just have to settle for clapping at our screens.

Okay, I don't want to take away anything from the rest of this band, who are just excellent in every respect, but I have to point out that this bass player is making that standup sound like a bass guitar, which absolutely blows my mind! Her timing, chops, tone and intonation are phenomenal! And ironically, I think it's the goal of many a bass guitarist to make their instrument sound like a standup bass... I'm so in awe here!

I first learned about Lake Street Dive because my little brother had a crush on Bridget Kearney.
Yet again, Tiny Desk shows me a band/artist that I feel like I should have been listening to for years, yet had never heard of until clicking on the video. Lake Street Dive is EXACTLY what I needed to hear today, I'm in love with this jazzy, funky, pop-like sound.

I will forever Love Lake Street Dive. Rachael has an amazing voice that I would take over any American female singer. Bridget's bass speaks for itself. I went to BU and was in college around the time they got starter. I swear I have been on the very corner they filmed their cover of "I Want You Back". Wish I could have seen them perform back then
The best sign the music industry is a bit messed up is that these guys aren't a household name. They're so good it's absurd.
As a member of the next generation, Making Do really hits
Thee most wholesome comment section ever... and well deserved because this band is so cool it's literally absurd
This music flows over you like an extremely hot shower on a relatively cold and long arduous day. Just feels good. Remember when music was this good?
LSD is such a great band. I absolutely love them. Sad to hear of McDucks departure but I wish him all the best. He surely will be missed.
I saw Rachel once on Frenchmen street in New Orleans and I almost fainted from her aura.
This band never leaves the pocket. So dope!

Shame, Shame, Shame was probably the first Lake Street Dive song I ever heard - on my local public radio station in 2018. Didn't know who they were but then found their cover of Take On Me and I've been a huge fan ever since. My favorite is Rachel's vocals on "What I'm Doing Here"
One morning my clock radio woke me up with "Good Kisser" and I sat up like I'd been hit with 240 volts. Could not understand what year it was or how this sound had escaped my notice. That was right when "Free Yourself Up" was released, and I've been on the train ever since. Blown away with each new release, and lucky to have seen them in Taos a couple years back. No better band today. Thanks, Tiny Desk!

I love hearing great indy artists too, but I also like hearing major label artists people are familiar with recontextualized in the cozy, usually semi-acoustic setting of Tiny Desk. They do a lot of these, and there's plenty of room for both.
