The Wombats Fly High During Acoustic Lollapalooza Performance
The wackiest and most lovable Liverpudlians to transport quirky powerpop across the Mersey since John, Paul, George, and Ringo first headed to Hamburg, the Wombats charmed all of Britain and beyond when they first reared their messily moptopped heads back in 2006. Despite starting off as some sort of madcap joke band when they first formed at Paul McCartney’s Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts, they soon realized they could craft some seriously stellar indie-pop, as evidenced in abundance on their excellent new album Glitterbug, out on Bright Antenna Records.
In this exclusive performance, shot live from the Toyota Tent at Lollapalooza 2015 in conjunction with SPIN, Matthew Murphy, Dan Haggis, and Norwegian transplant Tord Øverland-Knudsen perform a stripped-down but still high-energy version of the Glitterbug track “Give Me a Try.” Release the ‘Bats!
