Last week, Irish band Two Door Cinema Club hit up the Radio 1 Live Lounge to perform some goodies. They had mentioned that they would play a mysterious cover. That cover ended up being a Mumford & Sons’ ” The Cave.” I’ve heard many covers of this track and this has to be one of, if not, the best. A year ago, Ellie Goulding did an exceptional cover of “The Cave,” but Two Door is my favorite band so there’s a little bias there, but still. Check it out:
There’s something to the original track by Young the Giant that has me begging for more, but TDCC puts a little of that Irish goodness the band is known for to answer my call.Young the Giant recently finished their epic US tour and the band has left many fans with eargasms. Check out the remix by Two Door Cinema Club and the original after the jump and let us know which one is better.
Only 84 days remaining until Coachella and today we have music from Two Door Cinema Club. Two Door Cinema Club consists of four Irish mates (ha, mates) with an electro rock/pop tune. TDCC is easily one of my most favorite bands to listen to. I only have five bands/artists that have their own playlist on my iPod: Tupac, XV, Jack Johnson, Wale, and Two Door Cinema Club; that’s it.
Two Door Cinema Club released their debut album, Tourist History, in April of last year and have been touring the globe non-stop. I was fortunate enough to attend one of their US shows in Los Angeles and it was one of the best nights ever. Along with their debut album, they recorded an EP and altogether, they have only 16 songs. The band is also featured on a few Kitsune Maison (their record label) mixes. I first heard of the band through the Kitsune Maison 7 Minimix. I would post every TDCC song but I’ll leave you guys with my four favorite tracks: “What You Know,” “I Can Talk,” and click for the next page to check out my two non-stop repeat songs; “Undercover Martyn,” and “This Is The Life.”

Everybody’s Stalking posted this gem up a few days ago but I am just now receiving it due to Two Door Cinema Club having posted it on their Facebook page. Kowalski is a band from Northern Ireland with an indie pop sound similar to that of The Postal Service and Phoenix — per ES. The ‘Outdoors’ single is being released on Everybody’s Stalking on August 22nd.
Interesting note: Apparently, Paddy Baird, the drummer from Kowalski, is a brother of Kevin Baird from Two Door Cinema Club. Sweet.
There was a special feeling in the air in Pomona on Friday night. In a city that’s known for the neighboring Glasshouse restaurants that house shows from time to time, this night was different. St. Lucia and Two Door Cinema Club were coming to town.
Friday night was supposed to be Capital Cities’ first appearance on the tour but their schedule had them in Philly. So, that meant St. Lucia had to warm up Two Door Cinema Club, one of the biggest acts to come to
This came across our inbox yesterday. It’s been on repeat enough that we can post it now. Brooklyn-based St. Lucia have unveiled their video for their electric song, “Elevate.” The video comes in preparation for their forthcoming full-length debut When The Night due out October 8.
The band is straight out of Neon Gold which, if you’ve followed us closely would know that, generates some of the best bands from the East Coast.
St. Lucia is kicking off their tour with former touring mates, Two Door Cinema Club, on October 2nd.
The Knocks and St. Lucia together have to make for one of the best records of the year, undoubtedly. St. Lucia have been delivering on all the hype from 2012, but they this connection with The Knocks is probably one of the finest gems from the band.
Easily, The Knocks make any song a pleasure to listen to. They stick to what they do best and it shows song in and song out.
It’s finally here!
