Twin Tesla Coils Play Super Mario Bros

Twin Tesla Coils Play Super Mario Bros

This is even better than America's favorite acoustic heavy metal band, Tesla, covering the Mario theme.

 

Airborne Toxic Event-Poor Isaac

Airborne Toxic Event-Poor Isaac

Check out the Airborne Toxic Event doing a pure acoustic version of “Poor Isaac.” This is the way we like it over at the LG studios!

 

Dappled Cities - Fire Fire Fire

Dappled Cities - Fire Fire Fire

Dappled Cities flew all the way from Sydney, Australia just to do a live at LG Acoustic Session! Aren’t they jus the sweetest?! This is a seriously awesome band. For realizes.

 

Division Day-Is It True What They Say

Division Day-Is It True What They Say

When we first thought up the idea for the Live at LG acoustic sessions this is pretty much what we had in mind. One guy, one keyboard and goose bumps!

 

Tokyo Police Club - Shoulders and Arms

Tokyo Police Club - Shoulders and Arms

TPC were so good we just had to give youa bonus track this week. Here they are with an acoustic version of ‘Shoulders and Arms.’

 

Piebald-Life On The Farm

Piebald-Life On The Farm

Piebald are a group from Boston who have been cranking out crazy catchy pop/punk for a good number of years. While this might not be acoustic, it’s probably the closest they get!

 

The Harlem Shakes

The Harlem Shakes

Well I don’t know if you can really call this an acoustic performance, but either way it’s pretty frickin’ entertaining. The Harlem Shakes are one of those bands where the term “collective” actually applies. This was one of three songs they played for us from their debut EP titled Burning Birthdays. Look for them on tour this Summer!

 

Dinosaur Jr. - Alone

Dinosaur Jr. - Alone

Yeah that’s an acoustic guitar that J Mascis is playing the holy hell out of, but he’s added some bells and whistles like only Dinosaur Jr. can.

 

Live: Dinosaur Jr. - Almost Ready

Live: Dinosaur Jr. - Almost Ready

For those of you in the know, this is a rare acoustic performance from Dinosaur Jr.'s J Mascis playing the new single from the new record Beyond.

 

Live at LG: Limbeck - Mr. Spaceman

Live at LG: Limbeck - Mr. Spaceman

This is probably one of the best covers we have heard at the Live at LG Acoustic sessions and it’s a perfect fit for Limbeck. If you have never heard the original by The Byrds, well, then you should just be ashamed of yourself!

 

Live at LG: Mezzanine Owls - Moving Ground

Live at LG: Mezzanine Owls - Moving Ground

This track is an acoustic version of the first track off of the Mezzanine Owls debut album called Slingshot Echoes. We love it when a band comes in and does a version of a song that’s a lot different from the studio recording. After you listen to the Live at LG version head over to their site to hear the original.

 

Live at LG: The Broken West - So It Goes

Live at LG: The Broken West - So It Goes

The Broken West are a band from Los Angeles who play a brand of good times power pop. A funny thing happened when they came by the LG Studios for an acoustic session. They transformed into a group that sounded more like The Band, then Cheap Trick. Pretty impressive stuff. Check them out in the LG MusicPlayer as well.

 

Live at LG: The Slip - Children of December

Live at LG: The Slip - Children of December

The SLIP are a trio from Boston and Montreal who sound like there’s at least 6 people in the band. When they were in out studio we kept having to double check and make sure there were only three of them. It’s true. Anyway, they came in and treated us to an acoustic-y rendition of their single called “Children of December.”

 

Live at LG: Sparta - Taking Back Control

Live at LG: Sparta - Taking Back Control

Two of the boys from Sparta hit the ghetto=fabulous LG Studios and treated us to an early morning acoustic jam of "Taking Back Control." Pretty amazing to hear it all stripped down.

 

Live at LG: The Village Green - Waterloo Sunset

Live at LG: The Village Green - Waterloo Sunset

The Village Green stopped by our studios and lived up to their name by giving us a pretty amazing acoustic cover of the Kinks’ classic “Waterloo Sunset.”

 

Live at LG: Jose Gonzalez - Crosses

Live at LG: Jose Gonzalez - Crosses

Check out the acoustic awesomeness of Jose Gonzalez. He stopped by our studio and made us cry like little girls.

 

Live at LG: Pigeon John

Live at LG: Pigeon John

Pigeon John doesn’t play any “acoustic” business, but he still came up to our studios and rocked some live hip-hop with his DJ. It’s the kind of stuff that will get your head nodding and your brain smiling…I mean if a brain can smile that is.

 

Live at LG: Jose Gonzalez

Live at LG: Jose Gonzalez

José González came by the LG studio and played some songs for us, and he even brought his own microphone! This is a real acoustic performance.
