Louisiana indie pop three piece GIVERS just kicked off their US tour the other day at New Orleans Jazz Fest, and I’m sure they more than enthralled the crowd with their new single Collide, out now on Glassnote Records. GIVERS douses us with plenty of their signature Afro pop rhythms on the infectious tune, a joyous revelry of a hearty guitar curling treat. Collide’s music video was co-directed by GIVERS themselves, alongside Emma Kanter. It was shot in New Orleans. Collide is available, here. Check out their tour dates, here.
I literally gasped out loud when I logged into my youtube channels to check up on the latest uploads by La Blogotheque. There’s too many goodies by artists I like, so I’ll just giddy up and share some of the latest A Take Away Show uploads from the past few days… Some if it isn’t actually new, but are re-uploads from their older archives. This is gonna be some breathtaking stuff, trust me…
First, a 3 part St Vincent performance… Annie Clark, take it away!
Next, Jonquil, of whom I’d posted about a few times recently.
This one seems brand new and features Michael Kiwanuka, the rising, talented star…
And apparently, since the last time I’ve checked into La Blogotheque, they’ve joined hands with The Switch to co-share the youtube channel and share amazing music magic. Here’s The Switch’s session with Givers!
Coachella weekend 1 is upon us, and youtube is again bringing us a live stream of many of the sets this year. Go watch here: http://www.youtube.com/coachella
I certainly enjoyed catching parts of the stream last year, including Arcade Fire’s headlining set which blew me away with the LED balls and had me dancing and jumping alone in my home.

This official video came out a few days ago, off their debut album In Light. Givers is an indie pop band from Louisiana.
They’re definitely on the rise! Been hearing them mentioned a good amount. Up, Up, Up was the first single off the album, I don’t recall sharing it yet, so here it is:
