TAS In Session Flashback 2012: Part Two

Throughout the last year, The Alternate Side staff has chatted with dozens of up-and-coming and established bands in our live sessions, spanning the globe from Dalama, Sweden (The Tallest Man On Earth) to Toronto, Canada (Metric) to San Francisco, California (Geographer). The first part of our TAS in 2012 retrospective was published last week, and as we dive into 2013, we're revisiting more of those sessions — and live performance videos — that we liked. We'll also report on what's coming up for those bands in 2013. We also offer up another big round of applause for the intrepid WFUV/The Alternate Side engineering and video teams too.

Icky Blossoms: TAS In Session

Add Omaha's Icky Blossoms to the formidable stable of Saddle Creek bands. The brash, sexy and fun electronic trio released its self-titled debut album earlier this year, produced by TV on the Radio's Dave Sitek. Icky Blossoms is currently on tour with The Faint — they'll be at New York's Terminal 5 on December 7— and they recently visited The Alternate Side's Studio A. Listen to that session this Friday, November 30, on TAS on 91.5 WNYE at 11 a.m. EST (streaming on the TAS site) and watch videos of Icky Blossoms' scintillating live performance after the jump.
