Tune in tonight at 9 to hear my funny chat with the LA band, Local Natives. The band also performed a couple of the songs from their new (sophomore) album, Hummingbird, live in WFUV's Studio A.
The band also stopped by Studio A back in 2009 to play us some songs from their debut album, Gorilla Manor and you can watch Local Natives performing the songs, "World News" and "Camera Talk" here.
NYC's answer to Bonnaroo - Governors Ball Music Festival happens this weekend.
The festival starts this Friday at goes till Sunday. Bands begin playing at noon and end at 11:30, so it is an all day affair and the line up this year is stellar!
Here is a small sample of who will be playing:
Alisa Ali here, checking in with Dennis today on the TAS report. I'm bringing in the new album from Local Natives. It's called 'Hummingbird', and it just came out yesterday. I've been a big fan of these guys ever since I saw them at CMJ a few years ago. Back in 2009, they came in to WFUV's Studio A to do a session with us for their first album, 'Gorilla Manor' (which was stellar!). Here are a couple of videos from that session.
They'll be in New York to play Music Hall of Williamsburg on Friday, and Bowery Ballroom on Saturday and Sunday.
