Db Picks Youtube Snippets Of High Line Acts

“I never thought I’d need so many people…” – DB meets The Polyphonic Spree backstage in Philly in 2004.

No one knew what they could do, except for me and you…

On the run-up to The High Line Festival we’ll be posting a few YouTube snippets, selected by DB, of some of the acts that will be appearing over the course of the festival. First up is the remarkably good, if somewhat undervalued, Polyphonic Spree.

Regular visitors to these pages will know just how good a band The Polyphonic Spree is, from their remarkable UK debut at David Bowie’s 2002 Meltdown Festival, via their cover of Five Years and their support slot on A Reality Tour when they performed Slip Away with David during his set.

If you’ve never seen The Polyphonic Spree, don’t take my word for how wonderful a spectacle they are live, take David Bowie’s word for it! Check out the band performing Light And Day via this YouTube clip hand-picked by DB.

The band plays High Line on May 11th and tickets are available here.
