IDLES came just when we feared punk, aggression, and rock with a message was gone. Thank god for IDLES.

Enter post-punk mega-force… IDLES Whether chocolate milk tasting at Whole Foods in Austin TX, reviewing vinyl albums at famed Waterloo Records, trying on dresses and wigs at Lucy in Disguise with Diamonds or rocking out at their crazy live performances, there’s certainly never a dull moment with Bristol’s Post Punkers IDLES !
And here is a recent video… IDLES AF GANG.
Synopsis: Cage the Elephant Live from the Ryman features twenty-one new and reimagined performances of songs including “Whole Wide World”, “Shake Me Down”, “Ain’t No Rest for the Wicked”, “Trouble”, “Cigarette Daydreams” and more performed in a stripped down arrangement with a string quartet and percussion. Eighteen of the songs were from their past four albums plus three re imagined versions of existing songs. Said front man Matt Shultz about the inspiration behind the album: “Many times you’re adding sonic layers looking for something to hide behind, and what you don’t realize is that that vulnerability and that nakedness might be the most compelling and interesting thing about the song.”
Synopsis: From Donald Trump to World Cup—the traditional media narrative of Russia is far different from the what exists artistically deep inside. In Alt.Russia, the band Placebo charmingly bring you on their unexpected journey of Russia in this multi-award winning film that plays out like Anthony Bourdain for artists—as the band spends time with artists, architects, animators and musicians—embracing the country’s alternative creative culture and celebrating all it has to offer.
