Brooklyn’s Ratatat dropped in on the late night TV action for a live performance on Wednesday night’s Last Call With Carson Daly. The electro rock duo played two tracks from they latest album, Magnifique, which was released earlier this year (read our recent interview with them here).
Now on their fifth album, and in fact their first for five years, Magnifique saw a return to what Ratatat do best; simple yet tenacious melodies, channelled through guitar as their instrument of choice. And their performance on Carson Daly showcased that exact formula to good effect. Set to an impressive light show and tripped out visuals, guitars are out front as the pair give it their all. They definitely give some good energy and certainly sweep the crowd along in their glitchy, dance beat melodies.
Check out the videos below of Ratatat performing Pricks Of Brightness and Cream on Chrome as they rock their instrumental feels to an appreciative crowd. And watch out for the girl in the monster hat… head wear goals!
Wed, December 2nd: The Tivoli, Brisbane
