![[stream] White Denim // Street Joy (Live at The Ghost Room)](http://tympanogram.com/files/white-denim.jpeg "white denim")
With the Grammys generally celebrating the worst that the music industry has to offer last night, I found solace in White Denim. I went back and listened to Last Day of Summer and Fits, and dabbled in some Exposion as well. And then I ran across this live version of “Street Joy” (from their 2011 album D) on the band’s Soundcloud page.
I’ve been dying to see White Denim play live, simply because I imagine it to be a frenetic experience based on what the band puts out on their albums. (And frankly, I’m seriously considering making the trip to NYC to see them on Friday, April 13th.) In the meantime, this electric live cut of “Street Joy” recorded at The Ghost Room in Austin, TX will have to do. It’s pretty faithful to the version that ended up on D; the frustration in the lead singer’s voice is palpable here, echoing out over the silenced crowd.
In addition to the date the band has in New York, they have a bunch of other dates lined up over the course of the early Spring; head over to their website to see the full list of when and where they’ll be playing.
