Watch Parkay Quarts make TV debut with ‘Content Nausea’

It’s not too confusing - Parquet Courts have taken a backseat for a few weeks as Parkay Quarts introduce themselves. Similar name, slightly different project. Andrew Savage and Austin Brown are sidelining by releasing their first full-length ‘Content Nausea’. Joined by Justin Frye and Shannon Sigley (from PC Worship, and the Parquet/PC supergroup PCPC), this weekend they made their worldwide TV debut with a brutal, sarcy performance of the LP’s lead track.

For a song - and an album - concerned with being overwhelmed by noise, stories, distractions and inane chat, it’s appropriate that Parkay took the opportunity to launch themselves on ‘Le Grand Journal’, a French talkshow. The irony’s not lost on anyone. Complete with customary, awkward handclapping from an on-stage audience, there’s also Eric Cantona, watching on from a distance, sofa-bound and so, so confused. A wonderful sight.
