This 88FIVE Live session at Mr Musichead Gallery featuring alt-J is brought to you by The Independent 88.5 FM, CSUN & Saddleback College.
Join Saturday evening host Barry Funkhouser as he chats with Joe Newman and Gus Unger-Hamilton of the English indie-rock outfit alt-J!
Newman and Unger-Hamilton tell us some of the differences between British and American audiences and lifestyles, plus they also share details about the outfits they both strive to rock. They also reminisce back on the moment when they realized that alt-J had reached the point where it could support them financially & be the focus of their career.
If you've wondered about the story of how the group got their name, well, Newman and Unger-Hamilton go into detail, tracing their steps back to how they came to call themselves alt-J!
This 88FIVE Live at Mr Musichead Gallery session includes live acoustic performances of "Hard Drive Gold," "U & Me," "Chicago," and lastly, an oldie, but definitely a goldie, “Tessellate.”
88FIVE Live performances are recorded and mixed by Tristan Dolce & Matt Blake.
