Well, this above clip is a nice treat. Featuring Dallas’ own Ben Curtis and his School of Seven Bells bandmates the Deheza sisters, this nicely shot piece shows the New York-based three-piece on tour Down Under, going even farther under, performing an acoustic take of its song “Dust Devil” in a Sydney subway station for the always consistent Shoot The Player team.
Per the Shoot the Player-penned back story, It’s the first time the band’s performed the song–normally an ethereal take like the rest of the band’s catalog–sans electronics. And the performance wasn’t without its miscues–although not from the band, but from poor communication between the videographers and station security. Indeed, it all worked out well in the end; the band’s offering is a fine one.
Expect a louder one, though, on Wednesday, October 8, when the band stops through Denton for a gig at Hailey’s Club in support of its excellent, July-released Disconnect From Desire.
