Watch Courtney Barnett perform ‘Dead Fox’ and ‘Pedestrian At Best’ at Rough Trade East
Courtney Barnett performed the two tracks - both taken from her debut album - at Rough Trade East earlier this month.
Last week Courtney Barnett played a live in-store at London’s Rough Trade East in support of her bonza debut record ‘Sometimes I Sit and Think and Sometimes I Just Sit,’ and now she’s shared a film of the set online. Playing lead single ‘Pedestrian At Best’ along with ‘Dead Fox,’ Barnett and her band carved new routes through both songs live. As if they didn’t already sound huge, boy, are they shaping up into massive anthems live.
“Sometimes it takes a while to figure out what a song’s about,” Barnett told us in the latest issue of DIY, speaking about road-testing new material live. “The songs off the last two EPs [‘I’ve Got a Friend Called Emily Ferris’and ‘How to Carve a Carrot into a Rose’] have grown into totally different things over the last two years. They reveal themselves in different ways, I reckon. It’ll be interesting to see where these [new] songs end up.”
