I suspect Brazil’s CSS are due up for a new record soon since it seems they have been riding their debut for years. This L7 cover of “Pretend We Are Dead” was recorded at Irving Plaza on their 4th or 5th time through New York, although the first, I believe, doing a headline show. Few things entertain me more while watching a band live than getting an unexpected and well executed cover of a song I haven’t heard in years. This is a particularly good example.
