Daughter: TAS In Session

When London's Daughter visited FUV and The Alternate Side last October, the band members — three self-professed perfectionists — were still working on their debut album, If You Leave. The album was finally released in March. Daughter wraps its first lengthy North American headlining tour this week, but the band returns this August to tour with The National. Late last month, Daughter's Igor Haefeli and Remi Aguilella stopped by for a conversation with The Alternate Side (Elena Tonra was battling a cold). Listen to the interview, including performance highlights from Daughter's fall TAS session, this Friday, May 24, on TAS on 91.5 WNYE at 11 a.m. ET, also streaming online.

Watch Iron And Wine Live At WFUV

Iron and Wine's Sam Beam recently released his fifth full-length album, Ghost On Ghost, which is an expansive affair, complete with lush backing vocals, strings,  a horn section and a deep affection for a retro-'70s sound. Beam brought along nearly a dozen bandmates when he played live for WFUV a few weeks ago. Watch the videos here and listen to Iron and Wine's session with WFUV. Better yet, catch Iron and Wine at The Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, NY this Sunday, May 19.

Haerts: TAS In Session

Haerts are touring now with the Shout Out Louds and Atlas Genius later this spring, appearing with the latter at Bowery Ballroom on June 18. Watch Haerts perform "Wings" and a new track, "Hearts," in Studio A and listen to their TAS session this Friday, May 17, on TAS on 91.5 WNYE, also streaming online.

Phoenix: TAS In Session

Phoenix has been spending a lot of time in New York of late — far removed from decent Parisian croissants — recording at Oscilloscope Laboratories, playing "Saturday Night Live" and "The Late Show with David Letterman," and doing loads of press for their new album, Bankrupt!. On Monday, May 13, Phoenix will play a sold-out show at the Apollo Theater with another date at the Barclays Center in October. The quartet chatted with The Alternate Side's Alisa Ali about an array of eclectic inspirations, zigzagging from the eBay pruchase of Michael Jackson's recording console to a tiny toy keyboard. Listen to the TAS conversation with Phoenix this Friday, May 10, on TAS on 91.5  WNYE at 11 a.m., also streaming online.
