Watch DFA 1979 play ‘Trainwreck 1979’ on Letterman

Last night saw Death From Above 1979 making their first television appearance since remarkably reforming to bring out album number two, ‘The Physical World’.

Ten years on from their debut, the thrashing two-piece performance lead single ‘Trainwreck 1979’ on the Late Show with David Letterman, with the in-house band providing keys to accompany Sebastien Grainger and Jesse F. Keeler’s thrashing routine.

‘The Physical World’ is out now on Last Gang Records.
