The Antlers, Elbow And James Blake Sessions Noted As Faves Of TAS Engineering And Video Staffers

Posted 12-30-11 by

Tags: Active Child, Beirut, Elbow, Feist, Fruit Bats, James Blake, Man Man, The Antlers, The Naked and Famous

Behind every one of 2011's TAS or WFUV sessions in Studio A was an engineer who handled the mix, charged with the responsibility of making notable bands and artists like Feist, James Blake, Elbow, The Naked and Famous, The Antlers, Fruit Bats and more sound as good as possible for on-air broadcast. The bulk of the sessions are also taped by a video team, who are learning to capture performances in a visually exciting way. As the year comes to an end, the TAS video and engineering teams, most of them students at Fordham University, chose the most rewarding or meaningful sessions they worked on over the last year.

TAS In Session: Flashback 2011, Part 1

Tags: Beirut, Cults, Cymbals Eat Guitars, Laura Marling, Man Man, The Antlers, The Naked and Famous, The Radio Dept., The Raveonettes, The Vaccines

Over the past twelve months, The Alternate Side, alongside our sister station WFUV, has hosted dozens of live sessions in our studio with a vivid, inspiriting array of musicians and bands. We've had the chance to shift from The Antlers' luminous introspections to the muscular, shambolic rock of Man Man and end up at the gentle-but-lethal songwriting of Laura Marling. We wanted to revisit some of our favorite performances from many of those sessions, like The Naked and Famous' stirring "Young Blood" or Beirut's accordion-spurred anthem "Santa Fe," and give you updates on what's coming up in 2012 for many of these artists and bands.

Brooklyn's The Antlers shot from relative obscurity to breakthrough success in 2009 on the back of their gorgeous, elegiac third album, Hospice. Two years and numerous tours and festivals under the trio's belt, they've brightened up a bit on their new album, Burst Apart. The band plays the Sasquatch Music Festival this weekend, May 28, and just wrapped up a couple of New York area shows this past week, celebrating the album's release on Frenchkiss earlier this month. The Antlers' Peter Silberman and his bandmates dropped by The Alternate Side a few weeks ago to play a mini-session of songs from Burst Apart.
