I'm back for a brief spell today to add a sweetener to a past blog post, The Parlor Mob Live At JBTV Studios Chicago. Refer back via the link for a rundown of the live concert taping I covered, including lots of front row pictures, a rundown on the band's history and achievements, and conversation with the band members about their future plans.
Initially, I assumed The Parlor Mob performance I saw at JBTV Studios in downtown Chicago would be online a week or two after the taping. Several months and an unspoken lesson in the TV industry later, the video of the full episode finally dropped. I watched it feverishly, looking to relive the experience of seeing these guys again.
I wasn't disappointed, and even saw myself a few times! I've gotta say though, it comes as a shock to see how under-the-influence I look when I move around at a show. For the folks back home, rest assured the only mind-altering substance I took was rock and roll. To decide for yourself though, I'm the guy in the red shirt right in front of the lead singer.
Check out the episode now to see The Parlor Mob live, playing on the always-stylish JBTV stage. The episode is number 5,112...so, if that gives you any idea, they've been at it for awhile and there's some truly classic footage on this website. Green Day, Smashing Pumpkins, Dave Matthews Band and more greats all came through the studio on display at www.jbtvonline.com.
M83 is another main focus of the segment linked above. The French electro-rock act has been charting around the world with the album "Hurry Up, We're Dreaming", which was named by Pitchfork as the number 3 album of 2011. Check out the article (which discusses 49 other albums given the nod by Pitchfork) here, and visit M83 online here.
Electric Touch, an Austin-based band blending classic rock and British punk, are also featured in the JBTV segment. You can visit Electric Touch on the web at electrictouch.com for more info if their performance catches your eye!
