Watch: Superchunk Covers The Cure’s ‘In Between Days’
Jul 27, 2010 - By Seraphina L.
As if any of you 90’s music lovers didn’t already know, Superchunk are getting ready to release a brand new album titled Majesty Shredding. The album will be their first full-length in seven years (and a follow-up 2009’s EP “Leaves in the Gutter”) and is slated for release on September 14 via Merge Records.
Not only is Merge Records the very label which Superchunk members, Laura Ballance and Mac McCaughan, started way back in the day before they gathered an impressive roster including Arcade Fire, Camera Obscura, The Love Language, The Magnetic Fields and more, but Superchunk was also one of the true DIY artists who took music business into their own hands. To promote the news about the upcoming album release, they’ve teamed up with AV Club for a live performance where they cover The Cure. Watch it below!
According to Spin, Chicago’s AV Club have a fairly online series called “Undercover” where they choose 25 of their favorite artists to come in perform a song which must be chosen from a list of classic songs. Of course, we couldn’t be happier that they chose Superchunk to play for this latest installment. It may just be a performance in a small room but when the band picked The Cure’s “In Between Days,” who can find anything wrong with that?
